What do you get when you add:
a family apple orchard farm site +
a really old barn +
a CPA with a cider making hobby?

Farmhaus Cider Company!

Join us as we hear Farmhaus co-founder and president John Behrens tell us about the risks and rewards of starting a cidery, how he made the transition from full-time CPA to full-time cidermaker, and explain how his role as president of the Michigan Cider Association is helping him advocate for local cidermakers across the state. 

John will give us a deep-dive into what drove him to change careers. We'll learn about

  • His decision to make an industry switch
  • First steps: hurdles and incentives
  • How the industry might change post-pandemic

Farmhaus Cider is offering attendees a brief virtual tour of the cidery and will provide tasting notes on a special assorted four-pack of Farmhaus ciders arranged exclusively for our event!
