ENVIRONMENT FIRST
ENVIRONMENTAL EFFORTS
We strive to be a Zero Waste facility. Here are some of the ways we’re doing our best to be conscious of our environmental impact as a business in Humboldt County, California.
- Our grains are sourced as locally as possible with the majority grown less than 80 miles from our distillery
- All of our distilling equipment is made in America from our mill to our still to our fermenters
- Our commercial kitchen includes top of the line Hestan appliances that were made in CA
- We have a 3,000 gallon water recovery/chiller tank that recirculates our water (instead of running City water for hours on end). This tank was up-cycled from our neighbors Arcata Scrap & Salvage
- We serve reusable tasting, water and cocktail glasses as well as locally made glass straws (no disposables!)
- Our bathrooms have hand driers instead of paper towels
- 100% of our spent mash is donated to pigs (Over 30,000 gallons to date!)
- All of our merchandise is American Made & sourced as locally as possible (90% is from our County of Humboldt)
- We recycle and compost everything we can
- We love networking and creative re-use. A good example is our Whiskey made from day old bagels donated by Los Bagels
