About the Owner: 

4 years ago, Lake City Ciders founder, Poet left her job to chase a dream. Growing up in a family with an entrepreneurial spirit she always wanted to open her own business. As a certified sommelier, she wanted to create ciders that bridge the gap between wine and cider drinkers. This led to the creation of Lake City Cider! 

Nova Scotia agricultural connections run in Poet’s family! Her great Grandfather was the first president of the fruit growers association of Nova Scotia and was very good friends with the Sterlings, the same family that they buy apples from today.  

Fun fact: at the age of 16, Poet was national champion in 3 races in sprint kayak! Paddling is still an important to her and Lake City Cider is a sponsor for Canoe '22, the international world championships taking place this summer on Lake Banook. 

Nestled on Portland Street in the center of Dartmouth you’ll find the Lake City Cider Taproom. Stop in to try one of their many great products and enjoy the weather on their patio!
