Bird Peterson

When Bird Peterson took a bar back position at Left Foot Charley in 2017, all she was looking for was a day job with a fun atmosphere. The cider bug was in the air, but like some fermentations, her interest took its time and developed complexity. After a few years of part-time dabbling and helping at harvest, she is now a full time cellar hand.

She balances work at Left Foot Charley with her own artistic pursuits. She lives in a no stoplight town south of Traverse City with her husband and their two dogs.
