Strategic Partnership Opportunity to leverage the collaboration with Washington State University to co-brand and co-market Cougar Crisp Hard Apple Cider, tapping into university networks, football season audiences, and regional retailers across Washington.

Strong Orchard Base Benefit from Harmony Orchards’ 55 acres of cider apples and Perry pears, enabling consistent supply, traceability, and potential for exclusive or farm-to-bottle programs with retailers seeking authentic, local fruit-forward ciders.

Regional Market Fit Capitalizing on Yakima Valley’s status as a premier apple region and existing cider infrastructure to streamline distribution, store shelf presence, and seasonal product launches aligned with harvest cycles.

Seasonal Innovation Use history of seasonal releases (Lavender Honey Cider; future limited editions) to create impulse buys and event-driven promotions at retailers, festivals, and hospitality venues.

Sustainable Story Highlight organic farming and family-run heritage as a differentiator to appeal to sustainability-minded consumers and retailers, enabling premium placements and story-driven marketing campaigns.
