The Ontario government is giving up to $1 million a year for six years to the Ontario Craft Cider Marketing Fund.
Ontario Agriculture Minister Rob Flack said the money is to help Ontario cideries reach more local customers.
“We recognize the industry’s great potential for growth, and this investment is just one way we are ensuring its success, now and in the future,” Flack said.
There are more than 60 craft cideries in the province.
The government also has a Small Cidery Program that offers grants of up to $220,000 to add workers and equipment.
I guess the Amish and Old Order Mennonites don’t qualify.
