Sheffield Cider: Our Family Tradition

The Empey family moved to the Washington’s Columbia Basin in 1963.  And although they started with only a small apple orchard of thirty acres, they recognized a passion for growing and producing quality fruit.  Now, three generations later thirty acres has grown to be hundreds, and our family carries on the tradition of growing numerous varieties of quality apples including heirloom cider varieties bred especially for the craft of cider making.
