We’re sure you’ve heard lots lately about the challenges of being a small producer with the LCBO on strike. So let’s keep it short and simple. Support local! Every purchase counts, truly. Don’t forget we’ve got free local delivery! Link in bio.
Meet you at the market! Saturdays in St. Thomas 8am-12pm. Rain or shine. You’ll find us there with cider in hand July 6th and 20th!
Daydreamin’ of the beach today 🕶️
Load up for the long weekend with FREE delivery 🚚🥂🫢
The weekend is calling 🧺🥂
Who else is ready for the weekend??😅 This could and should be you tomorrow. Start it off right Wildflowers Farm at 4pm. You deserve it! 😉
We don’t always drink cider from the glass (because look at those stubby bottles!!), but when we do it comes with an aggressive pour 🫢
We’d like an order of blue skies and Wild At Heart for the weekend plz 🙏🤞
If you’re looking for a perfect Friday evening, head over to Wildflowers Farm for their market filled with local shopping, produce, bites and snag a bottle of R&R from the bar to finish it all off. We’re thrilled to be welcomed to the bar and be a tiny part of this charming, thriving, local spot 🌼🥂
Cider time! Local delivery (30km) is free and $8 beyond (31-80km regional). We’ll also be at Saturday morning. Looks like th perfect weekend to try something new ☺️
Your drink of summer is finally here! Wild At Heart. This cider pairs perfectly with all of your favourite things: summer afternoons, backroads, new friends and old. Available online now. Www.riseandruin.ca❤️🔥
Made with Geneva Red crab apples this rose gold cider starts out tart, but finishes with a touch of sweetness. It has notes of red berries and citrus fruit.
The Geneva Red crab apple is far from the wild crab apple trees that are nestled along the countryside. It’s grown specifically for its vibrant, red flesh and extraordinary tannic flavour. It brings charm to orchards and cider alike.
4% ABV
tart | semi-sweet | bright
The summer market season is starting up for R&R this weekend! Here’s a list of dates you can find us The Horton Farmers Market in June. Saturday 8am-12pm. No better way to start your weekend than a stroll with your morning coffee and croissant, browsing local vendors and stocking up on weekend drinks. See you there 🥂
Weekend prep starts now! You know what to do! Order link in bio 🤙✨
Our tasty (and gorgeous) rose gold cider Wild At Heart is getting labeled and ready for release. We can’t wait to have this in our glasses all summer. ☀️🥂
Are you as excited about May as we are? It’s the end of our long Canadian hibernation and the start of longer, sunnier days! It also means a lot of farm work, but it’s all worth it in the end! Cheers to drinkin’ outside with friends season! 🥂 As always, we’re offering delivery on Fridays! FREE local (30km) and $8 beyond.
Pears are in bloom! We’ve got a handful of pear trees on our farms and they’re always the first to bloom. They’re the drum roll before the apple tree blossoms, which IMO are even better. Swipe for apple bud progress. Soon! ⏱️
Our rose gold coloured cider is bottled and passed the taste test with flying colours! 🔥🌸
Spring screams cider weather 🌸. Maybe it’s the little blooms creeping out, or just the growing desire to leave the house and sit on a patio. Order online at www.riseandruin.ca for local delivery Friday! This week is looking toasty and a crisp cider is the perfect pairing to your spring walks!
This special little red fleshed crab apple is the feature of our upcoming release! It’s sharp, tart… and just a really cool looking apple. That counts for something, right? A real gem in the orchard. 🍎
Blending our next limited release and we’ve got some unreal colour coming through. She’s vibrant! Can’t wait to get this into bottle, because the taste tests are going a little TOO well.
Rise & Ruin is officially baaaack! It’s cider time. After some time off, our online store is open once again. We’ll be starting local delivery as of next Friday! Order online at www.riseandruin.ca. Special regional delivery dates to be announced in the coming weeks.
We just finished production on this year’s The Classic, and soon we’ll have Daydreamer bottled and set for the year too! Friday is our last day for local delivery before the holidays, so get your orders in by Thursday if you plan on loading up any stockings with these perfect little gifts 🎁. We’ll then be taking a week off to enjoy some time with family, to come back for a final week of deliveries before our January hiatus! 🤍
We’re in the final phases of production for the year! A little before and after filtration for The Classic. While there’s nothing wrong with course filtered ciders and sediment, we like to keep our core products clean and easy to drink.
LAST CALL for free regional delivery before the holidays and our hiatus in January. Get your orders in before 3pm today! 🤙
R&R is about to welcome its newest family member in the new year! And this is us, letting you know that we’ll be taking some time off in January. That means no markets, closing down the online sales and taking some time to settle into our new way of life! Jesse and myself (Chelsea) are business and life partners, and soon to be parents that currently manage every aspect of this small (but busy) business (not to mention our other full time jobs 😅). So we're in need of some time off to prepare and get excited for this new chapter.
We’ll be sharing some free delivery dates for local, regional and beyond for next week, and we’ll continue taking orders until the end of December. So get your orders in before our little hiatus arrives. ⭐️ Cheers!
This past weekend was a WHIRLWIND in the best way possible. Merry Market was our first multi-day event and we couldn’t have asked for a better time! We met so many new faces, loaded up R&R fans with holiday bundles and chatted cider with what felt like thousands of you 🤙. We’re so thankful for the support you’ve given our small business over the last 5 months. We wouldn’t be able to do this without our families, friends and of course, local cider lovers. We’ll be posting the remaining holiday bundles on our website this week, sharing some fun news and announcing special free delivery dates to make sure you get the most out of your holidays!
We’ve got our plans set for the next 4 days for the Merry Market! Come grab cider, holiday bundles, see the Christmas tree light up inside the Atrium tonight and shop local vendors throughout the weekend! We’ll be set up just down the hall from Starbucks and Shaw’s Ice Cream on Floor 1.
