AboutLeft Field Cider Co.
Sisters Theresa and Kate Garthwaite grew up in a British Columbia ranching family. Kate’s first kitchen-bucket experiment failed, but it led to formal cidermaking study and an apprenticeship with Mike Johnson at Ross-on-Wye Cider and Perry in England. Commercial cidermaking began at Mamette Lake in 2011, with Theresa, Kate and their parents Gord and Deb converting a former hayfield and barn into an orchard and ciderhouse.
Today the cidery is family-owned and operated by Theresa and Kate. Their small-batch, full-juice approach takes its cue from traditional English cider. English and French cider varieties supply tannin and structure, while British Columbia dessert apples bring freshness.

Crispness, fresh apple character and restrained sparkle are the specific elements recorded for the finished cider.
