Virginia is one of the strictest control states in the country, so it could be a while before we know. Of course, requests from consumers like yourself go a long way and have influence.

We looked into using all organic raw materials to produce Barrow’s Intense. Cost was a factor. Using all organic materials would have made the price per bottle prohibitive. That said, we aspire to meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance. In fact, right now we’re looking into becoming a Certified B Corporation, and have completed the initial impact assessment. We hope you’ll keep in touch and stay tuned as Barrow’s Intense continues to grow and evolve.","author_name":"Josh Morton","votes":0,"created_at":"2016-10-23T04:48:43Z"}]},{"id":6018,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:6018","question":"What is Barrow's relationship with Proof of Concept, LLC?

Are they paid per Diem as a consult or are they straight salary and at what percentage of revenue is spent on them?","answer":"We have 6 advisors each representing different areas of the industry. We don't feel this is a large group. As far as the expense associated with them they are unpaid. We may in the future have minor costs associated with them around travel/meeting expenses. In addition, based on individual advisors contribution we will also be granting \"Appreciation Units\" on an case by case basis that will be drawn from the founders shares."},{"question":"Do you have plans to expand into other intense flavors?","answer":"We are focused on the Ginger for now.

VT is a small control state (the State controls market access) so it will be one of the last territories we move into."},{"question":"How much did you gross last year?
