Grow Your Career at Gowan’s!

 

Now Celebrating 150 Years

​

For seven generations—since 1876—the Gowan family has tended these same organic heirloom apple orchards in the heart of Anderson Valley. What started as a small homestead has grown into one of California's oldest continuously family-farmed properties, now celebrating 150 incredible years. Every tree, every harvest, every bottle of our award-winning cider carries that story.​ And now we're inviting you to become part of it.

​

Named America's #1 Cidery

 

We're more than a cidery. We're stewards of rare heirloom varieties, certified organic growers, hands-on makers, and proud hosts of one of the most beautiful Cider Gardens you'll ever visit. Our ciders have been named Cidery of the Year and Cidermaker of the Year (GABF & American Cider Association), with multiple gold medals for our estate-grown, farm-to-bottle expressions. The magic starts right here on the land—pruning in winter fog, pressing fresh apples in fall, sharing tastings under century-old trees. 

​

• Share the authentic story of America's #1 cidery (Cidery of the Year 2025, GABF & American Cider Association)—help bring our award-winning, estate-grown ciders and 150-year family legacy to more shelves, glasses, and hearts across California and beyond

• Build real connections through sales and hospitality—whether chatting with partners by phone or email, visiting stores, bars, and restaurants to pour samples and tell the farm’s story, or welcoming guests to our beautiful Cider Garden with genuine pours, smiles, and tales from the orchards
