— from Lena Kassa for Orcas Senior Center —

Local businessowner Libby Garcia at Boathouse Ciderworks has worked her magic and created a cider exclusively for Orcas Senior Center called Senior Cider.

Because of the COVID-19 crisis, the need for home-delivered meals has increased dramatically. A dollar of every bottle sold will be donated to Orcas Senior Center’s meals and transportation program, which delivers warm meals to Orcas seniors three times per week.

Senior Cider was aged with organic elderberries and locally harvested apples giving it a dry and fruity flavor with a mild smoky finish. Karen Johnston and Barb Garrett, artists from Carla Stanley’s Orcas Senior Center Art With Carla class, designed the labels that adorn the bottle.

Support Orcas Senior Center meals and transportation program and a locally owned business by purchasing a bottle (or two or three!) of Senior Cider at Boathouse Ciderworks at the Orcas Ferry Landing. Hours of operation are Monday-Saturday, 2:30-5 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. Hours will expand in Phase 3.
