Hear From Our Members
Jamie Pratt, Liberty Ciderworks, Washington
"Back in 2016 we joined the American Cider Association as members, and since then we have found value in many of the benefits the ACA has provided, including the Certified Cider Professional Program. We find this program especially valuable because its purpose is to elevate the drink industry's understanding of cider and particularly the type of cider we produce."
Nicole Ward, Forgotten Ciders, Michigan
"At our orchard we grow over 1000 different varieties of apples on about 14 acres of trees, so that in itself comes with its own challenges, but I also came into this organization with no cidermaking background, no farming background, so it’s been a lot of learning as you go. What I’ve appreciated most about the ACA is any opportunity to connect with people, so programs like CiderCon® have allowed me to connect with so many people and ask questions in forums where I feel like they really understand where I’m coming from. They welcome all these questions with open arms."
Robby Honda, Tanuki Cider, California
"Originally I was really hesitant to get involved in the ACA since I didn't know how they could serve such a small producer. Though I went skeptically to CiderCon®, the event was a revelation. I was wrong about what the ACA could do for us. The number one thing the ACA gives me is confidence and self-worth. Before, I was hesitant about my voice as a cidermaker and didn’t know what role I could play in the bigger picture. But as a member for the past couple years, I realize that we do have a voice and we're all in this together."
