“What Western Canada Makes, Makes Western Canada”

The Growers Cider Company was established in 1927 in the District of Saanich, British Columbia, which is located in Victoria. The first plant was built nearing the end of 1928 and was created as a means to showcase Canadian ciders and wines to the world. The Growers Cider Company was truly a Western Canadian Company, with more than 90 per cent of the company owned by residents of the four western provinces.

When the company was formed, the aim was to put British Columbia on the map as one of the world's leading cider and wine centers, strictly on the basis of its own merits; and not through imitation of other products from other parts of the world.
