After much soul searching; we have come to the realization we will not be able to build our dream distillery on our farm in Oregon. It has been a difficult road to say the least but the reality is we are too small to be accepted by our county development department. The long journey to this conclusion really comes down to money. The cost of meeting massive and onerous code requirements is beyond our financial ability.
However, there is excellent news that has developed out of our challenges. (Cue the Phoenix Rising from the Ashes Music.) We are seeking out a more small business friendly location to develop the distillery. We will still use our fantastic farm grown ingredients and still us all of the production knowledge we have developed over the years.
So, we look forward to a new location and the excitement that a hunt for a new home has to offer. Mean while follow along and learn with us as we find a new home for Braeside Farms Distillery

Where are you guys going to setup the new facility?
Hey Robert,
Right now we have a few spots in mind. All of which are warm and sunny in the winter months. Perfect for the CSA farming season down time in Oregon. Stay tuned and we will have some blogs (and with luck some video) of the prospective locations.
