Meet Chris Rylands of Renaissance Orchards
First there was Cider Supply and then Chris founded Renaissance Orchards with his wife Melinda. This move was a natural progression of a series of events that include resources needed for making a keeved cider and the thirst for a particular style of cider.
The orchards and the Rylands are based in Ferndale a town just south of the Canadian border in Washington state.
