Regenerative Spirits: A Visit to Branchwater Farms

You may have seen their handsome bottles at the liquor store or farmers markets. Ever wonder how Branchwater Farms spirits—gin, whiskey, rye and brandies—are made? Join us for a visit with owners Robin Touchet and Kevin Pike on their Milan farm. We’ll have a chance to see the fields where the grain is grown (and possibly get a glimpse of their free-ranging ducks) before heading into the barn-turned-distillery. Robin and Kevin will tell us about their approach to regenerative farming, the animals they raise as part of that process, and the partnerships they’ve formed with other growers and farmers along the way. We’ll end with a tasting of Branchwater spirits and time for shopping in their farm store, which sells select local edibles, drinkables and home goods, some from the farm itself. Address provided upon registration, which is required. $25 donation suggested.
