Brittany Kordick

Brittany Kordick is one-half of the dynamic duo behind Kordick Family Farm in Westfield, North Carolina, where two persistent souls stay busy proving you can grow heirloom apples organically on a commercial scale, even in the Southeastern United States. Brittany’s official title is orchard manager, but “Jill of all trades” is more fitting, given her duty roster and devotion to multitasking. Because Brittany is a glutton for punishment, always looking to master skills that intersect with farming needs, in recent years she has pursued education in the electrical and HVAC fields, as well as enology and viticulture. A particular interest is applying winemaking practices and principles wherever they can elevate cidery and orchard management. Brittany tries to keep things on a professional level always, but finds it hard not to get attached to her trees.
