The interesting story behind this buzzworthy Nova Scotia cider maker Posted March 9, 2021
Jake Foley, the owner of Sourwood Cider is, or has been, a musician, violin maker, sculptor, and craftsman. He approaches most things in his life with an artist’s eye and touch, including apples. And apples have, recently, become his life.
He wasn’t intending for them to be. He was into fermentation–he loved kimchi, and sauerkraut, and kombucha–all the funky, gut-loving probiotics. And then one day, not long after returning home to Ontario from England where he studied violin-making, he picked some apples with some friends and let them ferment. They tasted good.
