Yes, we have a whole post devoted to our ever-present, super-friendly black cat, "Kitty Coal." Kitty Coal has a long history of greeting customers and lounging around the apple UPICK and cidery. He'll walk with people down the rows of apples and plop down on your table if you're drinking a cider. He tolerates kids, to a point, though he can totally freak them out if he decides to eat his latest rabbit catch in the grass, their faces in shock, maybe leaving a foot as a reminder of his wild actions. Don't pick him up, but he loves pets and scratches. Truly cool cat, he sleeps in the shade, and meows readily when prompted. If you visit us this season for the cidery or UPICK, look for this guy and his gray, shy companion, Kitty Storm. They will satisfy your cat fix.

'Tis the season when blooms are everywhere and so are the bees! We called Snohomish Bee Co. over the weekend to come capture a swarm we found huddled in one of our Black Locust trees in the silvopasture. Walking under the Golden Chain trees, you can feel the air vibrate with buzzing bumbles. One evening last week, around dusk, a huge furry moth was bouncing from flower to flower of a Western Azalea in the yard. It's wonderful and a little daunting.....there are so many apple blossoms, and when they're pollinated, they turn into baby apples that will need to be thinned. It's a huge Spring task for any apple orchard.

We've been happy to share our Rhubarb cider with Obsidian Beer Hall in Everett. They featured it at their 2nd year anniversary event and are true fans of our cider. Cheers Craig! This punchy cider will also be presented at an upcoming Farm To Table event at Pine Creek Nursery in Monroe on May 3rd. These dinners will be also held in July and October and are a sweet collaboration highlighting those of us who farm and ferment in the great PNW! RCR will be the venue for their October dinner (more to come on that)...

Just last week, RCR partnered with Agroforestry Northwest and welcomed local tribal community members to harvest dandelions. This event was part of a Biocultural Restoration Initiative to reconnect people with plants that nourish both ecosystems and communities. Dandelion is food and medicine. Check out their fact sheet.
