Whitewood Cider Co.

What Whitewood Cider Co. does

Whitewood Cider Co. is a privately-held craft cidery based in Olympia, Washington, that produces hand-crafted ciders from apples grown in the Pacific Northwest. Its product line is sold primarily through a single owned retail location, the Teeny Tiny Taproom at 728 4th Ave E in Olympia, which offers on-site tasting, patio service, and curbside pickup; an online ordering channel on the Square e-commerce platform supports advance order and contactless fulfillment. The company's production cidery was relocated from Olympia to Tenino, WA in 2020, and it has announced plans for a future tavern and bottle shop expansion.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer model with no disclosed wholesale, distribution, or B2B accounts, and serves a single customer segment defined as local Puget Sound consumers seeking locally produced craft cider. Pricing is set at point of sale and is not publicly disclosed; transactions are card-only via Square, which also serves as the company's POS system. Marketing is community-based, relying on organic social media and word-of-mouth referrals from other local businesses in the Olympia area.

The company has received regional industry recognition, including a feature in Imbibe Magazine (January/February 2014) and a Great Food Award (2017). It operates without disclosed external funding, parent-company ownership, patents, or proprietary technology beyond its cider recipes and brand identity, and it has 11-50 employees.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Angry Orchard: Boston Beer Company's national hard cider brand, the dominant mass-market cider in the U.S. Represents the well-funded incumbent that any craft cidery must differentiate against.
• Woodchuck Hard Cider: Established national craft cider brand owned by Vermont Cider Company with broad retail distribution. Comparable as a cider producer competing for category share, but at much larger scale and through wholesale channels.

Regional players

• Tieton Cider Works: Yakima, WA-based cider producer with orchard-to-glass vertical integration and Washington tasting room. Comparable as another Washington-state craft cidery with farm-connected sourcing narrative.

Direct peers

• Stem Ciders: Denver-based craft cidery combining a production facility with a cider-focused taproom. Directly comparable DTC + taproom model and craft positioning, though in a different geography.
• 2 Towns Ciderhouse: Oregon-based craft cider producer with strong regional DTC presence, taproom, and broader distribution than Whitewood. Comparable PNW craft cider positioning, scale ambition, and brand-building approach.
• Finnriver Farm & Cidery: Jefferson County, WA farm-based cidery with a tasting room, organic cider line, and event-driven DTC model. Comparable Washington craft cider taproom operator with agricultural-rooted positioning.
• Schilling Cider: Pacific Northwest craft cider producer operating a taproom and production facility in Auburn, WA, with a regional DTC model. Most direct geographic and channel competitor to Whitewood Cider Co.
• Reverend Nat's Hard Cider: Portland, OR craft cidery with taproom and quirky brand positioning. Comparable as a small-batch craft producer emphasizing flavor experimentation and Pacific Northwest identity.
