325: Mouthwatering Alma Cider | Washington

Getting to Alma

An affection to snow brought Dave Klawer to Washington State. Instead of becoming a professional snowboarder he became a nurse a while he continues to grow his cider brad Alma Cider. This year he finished his Masters in Agriculture to continue enriching his own wealth of knowledge in the field at Washington State University under the tutelage of Carol Miles.

Alma Cider began commercially pressing apples to produce cider in 2019
