Our mission is to provide our customers with premium & authentic micro distilled spirits, meaningful employment to members of our community and a fun, safe and profitable environment to all stakeholders. Message from Founder & CEO: Devon Strang My life on the farm began the year I was born 1992. Long before I was even out of diapers, I would spend hours with my father and grandfather either sitting in a tractor or running around the warehouse “pretending” to help. Throughout my school years, I would get off the bus head straight to the warehouse to “supervise” what had happened that day. After graduating from Tantramar Regional High school, I was awarded an entrance scholarship to attend Mount Allison University. I completed my commerce degree with distinction in 2014; It was during my university years when I came up with the idea of distilling potatoes to make vodka. Learning about the importance of operating a lean business I quickly learnt that throwing away our undersized potatoes from the farm was not economical or efficient. From 2014 to today, I have busy honing and mastering my craft. I’ve taken a lot of distilling courses all across North America. One of the most notable trips, was my trip to Idaho where I got to learn and work with a well-known American potato vodka distiller Grand Teton Distillery. He has won numerous potato vodka distilling awards and he has worked with a few Hollywood celebrities. From this very location, we are a 6th generation farm. However, only the 4th generation of potato growers. Interestingly, there is a history in our area of moonshiners making potato champagne as they would call it. We make a potato champagne, but also, we have perfected the craft of transforming potatoes into ultra-premium Potato Vodka & Gin. We have developed our own unique process of cooking, mashing, fermenting and distilling potatoes that you will not see anywhere else in the world. We had custom fabricated cooking and mashing equipment tailor made for our recipe. We use whole potatoes from the farm and do not transform them by peeling or dehydrating (potato flakes). This couldn’t have been possible with the help of a strong relationship we have built with our funding partners. They include the Department of Agriculture, NBIF and the Bioresearch team at CCNB. It was there, where we were able to build, craft and analyze our recipe through scientific methods to ensure the ultimate quality and efficiency of our process. It was through the highly detailed analysis in the early stages, that enabled us to create a micro-distilled vodka that is of the highest purity. I can say with confidence, we will rival with the very best vodka’s available on the market today! This equivalent to 20 times distilled ultra-premium vodka will allow New Brunswicker’s to support local without having to lower expectations to do so. You may have seen our potato statue, as he is currently attracting drive by and social media attention. He has been a great addition to the business. In this age of selfies, he can be seen always smiling, front and center in many pictures.
