Distillation is an agricultural art, and it is our mission to put this traditional skill back into the hands of small farmers and homesteaders where it belongs. That's why we're offering a two-day course this summer focusing on all aspects of farm-based distilling from seeds to spirits. Led by Kempton Randolph, founder, farmer and head distiller at Hooker Mountain Farm, this class will familiarize students with growing grains and fruits, basic spirits distillation from mashing to operating a still to product formulation, essential oil distillation, as well as how distillation functions as an integral part of the small farm or homestead agri-system.
