Seattle Cider Company Earns 2026 Good Food Award

Turning sustainability and social responsibility into award-winning cider — City Fruit earns one of the food and beverage industry’s most respected honors.

CORVALLIS, Ore., July 2, 2026 — Seattle Cider Company is thrilled to announce it has been named a recipient of a 2026 Good Food Award, one of the food and beverage industry’s most respected honors recognizing products that combine exceptional quality with positive social and environmental impact.

Selected through a blind tasting process from more than 1,200 entries, the Good Food Awards celebrate products that exemplify exceptional craftsmanship, sustainability, social responsibility, and innovation. Winners are recognized not only for what they create, but for the positive impact they have on their communities and the food system as a whole.

Seattle Cider received the award for City Fruit, a cider inspired by a partnership with a Seattle-based nonprofit dedicated to harvesting and utilizing fruit that might otherwise go to waste.

“This recognition reflects values that have always been important to us. City Fruit was inspired by a simple idea: resources should be valued, communities should be connected, and good food shouldn’t go to waste. We’re honored that the Good Food Foundation recognized a project built around those principles.”

— Felix Madrid, Director of Brand & Market Development, Seattle Cider Company
