Jan’s Orchard Notes
Merridale is a woman-led cidery and distillery, shaped by the land, the seasons and a belief that what we make should reflect where it comes from.
Through Jan’s Orchard Notes, Merridale owner Janet Docherty shares stories from behind the scenes, from cider apples and harvest to sustainability, life in the orchard and the decisions that continue to shape Merridale.
Follow along with what’s growing, changing and happening here in the Cowichan Valley.
