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 still run our little business after hours and on weekends, and 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.
