Press Release

PORTLAND, OR … Zupan’s Markets has once again partnered with an independent craft producer, but for its 26th installment of its Farm-to-Market series the grocery group has mixed things up: rather than an Oregon brewery, Zupan’s is partnering with the Washington-based Seattle Cider Company. The result is the Farm To Market Cider, a classic blend of culinary apples fermented with a traditional Saison yeast and rustic spices like coriander, peppercorn, and grapefruit peel. It’s sweetened with a touch of wildflower honey to accentuate the spices.

“As much as we all love a good beer at Zupan’s, there’s no better way to welcome the cooler fall weather than with a crisp cider,” said Zupan’s Markets President and CEO Mike Zupan. “This super dry and floral cider is so versatile, it’s a food-lover's dream.”

Seattle Cider Company’s Farm-To-Market cider is exclusively available at all three Zupan’s Markets locations. The cider is sold in 16-ounce cans for $4.99 and as a 4-pack for $16.99, and will be available for a limited time only.
