309: Blue Bee Cider | Richmond, VA
from Cider Chat Hosted by Ria Windcaller: Award winning Cidermaker | Craft Libations Columnist | Podcaster
Blue Bee Cider Founder Courtney Mailey Courtney Mailey, always knew she wanted to be a farmer of sorts. In the high school she took part in an aptitude test with the result showing that she was to be a farmer. By the way, she was the only kids in her whole class with that goal. Her journey to cider became more obvious after a stint in working in DC, a trip to Ireland (where she met her husband) and an apprenticeship at Albemarle Ciderworks. She was on the path and took the leap, in 2016 when she bought the current site of Blue Bee Cider in the Scott's Addition area of Richmond, Virginia.
