D’Ont poke the bear cider

Our all natural cider is locally sourced with NO added flavours -- just pure apples!

Not only is our cider both gluten-free and GMO free, it also has 7 different types of local apples which gives it a smooth & refreshing taste -- perfect for hot summer days!

D'Ont Poke the Bear is the passionate result of two people, Andrew and Allan, who produce great VQA Ontario wines and craft cider.  

Andrew and Allan were both bullied as children and have now created D'Ont Poke the Bear to celebrate those that fight back and put their friends first...Oh, and put the apostrophe wherever they want! 

By donating $0.25 per bottle of wine and $0.05 per can of craft cider, they will set out to make this happen.  

Polite until provoked...don't poke the bear.

We are so proud to announce that as of June 2021, we have raised over $250,000.00 in support of Bullying awareness & prevention for Friends First! Our starting goal of raising $75,000.00 has now grown to be a +$1Million dollar goal!
