Question 1

What are your 1 year , 3 years, and 5 years plans? (EX. Stores?) Will there be other refreshments/product being made in the long term to support company growth?

Accepted Answer

Alexander, Thanks for the great question. Our first year involves opening a retail storefront and taproom in Downtown Asheville. This is a big step, but one we're totally prepared to take on. By year 3, we want to see a similar storefront and taproom in Atlanta. By year 5 we feel the sky is the limit. Honestly, our remote location has one key advantage that most businesses in the region don't capitalize on. We're 3 hours in the middle of nowhere, but that also means we're 3 hours from everywh...

Question 2

Would you ever do a kiosk in a mall type setting or a truck for mobility into like a farmers market type thing? Lowers the monetary aspect a lot...

Accepted Answer

Malls in this area are dying and becoming more like ghost towns, so I think the kiosk for us would not be a good venue. I think our real advantage is getting the opportunity to connect more one on one with customers. Education for a new and unique beverage like ours is super important. The van for mobility on the other hand is a must. It's part of our plan to lease a van, not only for delivery of our products to Asheville, but to allow us to participate in beer and wine festivals. Again we fe...

Question 3

Curious as to why you chose to go with revenue share and not equity for investors ?

Accepted Answer

I guess the reasoning is two fold. One, we don't feel we need a ton of capital to make this expansion possible. We have most of the infrastructure in place already and only need to expand our cellaring capacity to be able to make more mead. While having an abundance of money available could have some benefit, we feel running lean and staying on top of controlling costs is a far better option that leads to a more controllable growth strategy. Two, we don't see ourselves as growing this company...

Question 4

how do i look at my acccount

Accepted Answer

I believe there is a picture in the top right of the page and when you scroll over it a menu pops up allowing you to see your profile and investments, etc. See if that doesn't get what you're looking for and if not I'll find out. Thanks!

Question 5

Wholesome. When do you expect to be operating in Asheville? Is part of the wefunder funding for the operating licensures?

Accepted Answer

Great questions Mark. We plan to open our doors in Asheville around March of next year. We feel this is an ambitious timeline, but gives us enough time to complete the buildout and begin scaling production. We anticipate serving 3X as many customers in Asheville as we do in our current location (or maybe more) and believe the biggest need will be having more products available. As such, almost all of the funds from our WeFunder raise will be used to purchase equipment and raw materials to fac...
