Dysfunctional Delights Meadery small business help needed
Please help we are in position, we hate to admit, we need the community help
The Ryles family are pleading for the community help to save our business that we have invested everything we have into (retirement, sold all toys and second car). In 2019 we started our renovation to bring a local honey wine producer to the southwest Ohio area, we finally were ready to have our inspection to open on March 13, 2020 but as it happens 30 minutes before that happened the state closed all facilities and the inspection was delayed till November 3, 2020, leaving us in quite a bind and ate up any funds we had to survive first year in business, renovate our kitchen, and apply signage to front of the facility. While we have been making enough to cover the monthly bills there is not enough to catch up from back bills caused by covid and to invest in the needed improvements to really make your experience one to remember.
We are asking for folks to purchase or donate to the cause so we can create a better experience for folks visiting us. Since we have been open, we have attracted folks from Dayton and Cincinnati to our small town, as well as folks from 19 other states in the short time we have been open. We currently produce small batch honey wines (meads) and are looking to expand our menu with lower abv more affordable options of session honey wines (meads) and a selection of foods.
To help us support us we are asking for one of the following
$100 gift card purchase
