Pisgah is a glorious summer spot on a Eugene summer day. And, cider is a glorious summer drink — for those of us over 21 — that is. So, why not bundle those two things together for a sunny, and tasty, summer dream come true? Wildcraft Cider Works partnered with Friends of Buford Park & Mount Pisgah, as well as Lane County Parks, to create the “Pisgah Heritage Farmhouse Cider,” and there will be a release party for the drink on Thursday, June 15. The cider, according to a press re- lease, is “a floral and complex ‘farmhouse’ cider produced with non-native apples, English hawthorne berries and blossoms harvested by Friends’ volunteers from the historic Seavey homestead within Lane County’s Buford Park (aka Mount Pisgah).” Along with cider tastings and sales, the release party will have live music from The Grand Ronde String Band and SoulJazz Trio, a native plant sale, food carts and education about local history and the historic Seavey family. The Pisgah Heritage Cider Release Party is 5-8pm on Thursday, June 15, at the Native Plant Nursery at Buford Park (aka Mt. Pisgah, 34639 Frank Parrish Rd.) Admis- sion to the event is FREE. — Meerah Powell 14 June 15, 2017 • eugeneweekly.com
