How It All Began

Maggie, a biologist and gardener, and Morgan, a home brewer and engineer, met as students while sailing the high seas aboard the Training Ship Golden Bear. They fell in love, and many of their mutual interests began to align. Maggie learned more about beer and how to homebrew. Morgan learned about local flora and fauna and gardening. As they explored San Luis Obispo county, they happened upon See Canyon, and in its beautiful orchards discovered they loved heirloom apples; suddenly they understood the world of apples was bigger than Granny Smith and Red Delicious.

Maggie and Morgan - Founders of Two Broads Ciderworks

Discovering Cider

They made their first hard cider with the juice pressed from See Canyon apples. These first batches taught the Broads the potential for cider; it didn't have to be artificially sweet corporate cider, but could be really good, really different, and really exciting. Following these early experiments, they sampled the excellent ciders from France, England, and Spain. They fell in love again.
