6 friends and an orchard..
How The Side Project started
In 2006 Pete and Caz planted an orchard of cider apples – and very quickly discovered they weren’t all that good eating. Consequently their cows were very happy (and fat).
It wasn’t until 2014 we thought we’d have a crack at making cider. We spent our weekend creating 100L of juice with 3 Breville juicers in the back shed.
Today our Side Project has grown into a independent craft cider and beerworks, that proudly calls Kalangadoo and the Limestone Coast home.
We pride ourselves on creating genuine craft, small batch products made by hand from scratch.
- Independently owned by 6 friends in the Limestone Coast.
- Small batch.
- 100% Kalangadoo apples grown on our orchard in Kalangadoo.
- Top 10 finalist in 2016 Brand SA Limestone Coast Regional awards.
The Crew
Our ‘workforce’ includes a winemaker, a nurse, two horticulturists who own a small apple orchard in Kalangadoo, a marketing man, and a graphic designer.
We also rope in friends, family and unsuspecting passers-by.
