Happy Thanksgiving

November 25, 2009

 As all of us give thanks on this Thanksgiving, please remember all the hard work and effort that went into your Thanksgiving meal by America's farmers.

Our harvest crew includes my two brothers, my dad, mom, wife, sisters-in-law, son-in-law, daughter, and three nephews. We're all dressed in overalls or blue jeans, heavy jackets, and baseball caps. The family resemblance is strong, and my brothers and nephews are big guys, so the overall effect is a bit spooky. Think of a Faulkner novel, substituting rusted-out pickup trucks for mules.

For the whole article go here.

American farmers make it possible for us to make our products.  They have also fed the world.  It is estimated that a billion people would have starved to death over the last hundred years were it not for American farmers and American farming practices.

This week we were informed that our Indiana Vodka has been awarded the Indiana Artisan designation.  What is this, the state website describes it well:

Indiana Artisan supports entrepreneurs who create high-quality art, crafts and value-added foods in the Hoosier state. A venture of the Indiana Office of Tourism Development, the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs, the Indiana Arts Commission and the Indiana State Department of Agriculture, this comprehensive program was launched in 2008 to:

  • Raise awareness about the availability of locally-crafted products
  • Establish a brand for Indiana-made goods
  • Provide artisans, particularly those in rural areas, with access to entrepreneurial support including training and networking opportunities
  • Support artisan trail and retail development
  • Encourage visitation to Indiana
To date the Indiana Artisan designation as been awarded to only 122 Indiana producers, craftsmen, and artists.  Of course, we think we make some pretty good vodka, but it is always nice when our fellow Hooisers think so.  Thanks!  And as always, cheers!

 Last night downtown club goers were treated to something unique.  A genuine Hollywood style photo shoot.  We are getting ready to release our new gin and were downtown taking some really cool photos to help promote the gin.  We will post some of the pics later for you to look at.  In the mean time much thanks to the staff at 6 Lounge and Howl at the Moon for hosting our models, photographer, and all the other support people we need to make these things work.
