Not necessarily with them because they're like 3 hours away from where I live lol but I've been applying to every cider company in the area and even ones out of the area with sales positions here. My advantage being that I already have a relationship with some of their distributors and many of their customers in different areas of the state. Disadvantage being, I have no direct sales experience. Either way, most either don't have anything open in the area and the rest just ignore my applications and emails.

ah bummer, I thought you were still living in the valley
I know Albermarle does internships, but probably unpaid.
FWIW, the head cidermaker at Distillery Lane was a homebrewer who got his job there just by buying juice from them, then giving them a bottle off the resulting cider.
He has won more medals than any cidery ive been to, so it cant be a bad strategy.

Ive daydreaming telling my career to fuck off to go live in the mountains and make cider.
so get the job so I can live vicariously through you
I didn't care for Old Hill's staff in the least. They weren't...rude, exactly but they weren't exactly chomping at the bit to answer questions or take my money. They could probably use some assistance.
Old Hill is one of the only VA cideries I haven't been to yet.
I do plan on going to their open house during VA cider week on Nov 18 when they sell juice blends for cidermaking to homebrewers.
