Environmental stewardship is at the core of Woodchuck Hard Cider. As efforts continue to reduce our carbon footprint as a company, we also endeavor to support causes beyond the walls of our Middlebury Cidery.

The program plants trees in areas ravaged by wildfire and other natural disasters. Since 1991, they have planted more than 40 million trees in all 50 states and 38 different countries.

How many trees will we plant you ask? Well, that all depends on our loyal and dedicated fan base. For every new â like’we get on Facebook we will plant two trees in their honor. Itâ s our way of supporting the mission of Earth Week, and building a healthier planet.
