Today, we hosted part of the Pilchuck Audubon's Christmas Bird Count. One benefit of the high flood waters is that we have a lot of new species on our farm. Waterfowl: Lesser Scaup, Bufflehead, Hooded Merganser, Pied-Billed Grebe, and Goldeneye. Here is some info on the Christmas Bird Count in case you'd like to get involved: https://www.audubon.org/community-science/christmas-bird-count/join-christmas-bird-count

We're happy to report that the water stopped overtopping Friday night, and when we woke up Saturday morning, the flood left behind a pudding-like layer of silt on the road. We spent the rest of the day visiting with neighbors, sharing stories, and processing; after which we began the cleanup. Late in the afternoon, Nick and I canoed the back pastures, fields, and forests, assessing the damage and being in awe of the amount of water that now rests in the back of all our pro

First of all, thank you to all the people who have reached out, checking in on how we're doing, and offering to help in any way. We are touched by that kindness! We wish there were more people could do; it feels helpless waiting for the water to go down. This has been really challenging, lots of anxiety, lots of wondering if our dike system will hold up with this record-level water over this many days. And we're still very much living this reality. The water has only min

There are a few establishments in the area that will have our cider kegs during the off-season - Obsidian Beer Hall at 1420 Hewitt Ave in Everett is the 1st! Come meet owner Craig, sink into a comfy chair, relax, and take in the chill vibe. Local art covers the walls, and the tap selection is unique and Washington-based. https://obsidianbeerhall.com/

Back in December of 2017, Nick started writing a monthly reflection about the farm, charting the seasonal changes, the mundane chores, every day farm life, and his ponderings. His last entry was January 2020....and then there was COVID....and then we got busy. He's come back to it, and we're going to send it out through our farm email. It's a way for you all to stay connected to us, especially in the off-season. The full blog can be found at the link below (or on the Cons

This Fall we're seeing what we can do with quince. We have ~50 quince trees of several varieties on the farm. They're still young and will come into full production in a couple more years. They smell amazing, but their juice was really tart....we'll see how this ferments. We may have a small batch on tap next season?

Riverview Road Cidery is excited to pour our ciders at Brewfest this Saturday, Nov 8th, at Thomas Family Farm. Come enjoy local beer, spirits, and cider while supporting the Snohomish Senior Center!

We had a wonderful Trucks-n-Tunes last Saturday with lots of musicians, yummy bowls, and scrumptious cider. It's bittersweet to close for the season.

We're looking to hear your feedback on the cidery, so please consider sharing your opinion on our survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/cidersurvey During the off-season, Farmer Nick will be writing a monthly blog and keepi

UPICK is done but we have one last Trucks-n-Tunes at Riverview Road Cidery.
