Chatham Imports is launching a revamped Farmer’s Organic Gin produced in partnership with a family farm and a world-class organic distillery, both located in Idaho. With hemp seed as one of its botanicals, this product will be available for sale throughout the United States.
Farmer’s Organic Gin is USDA certified organic, gluten free and contains no carbs or sugar. It features a beautiful blend of thoughtfully chosen botanicals including Juniper, Elderflower, Hemp Seed, Lemongrass, Coriander, Rose, Angelica Root, and other Select Botanicals. Farmer’s Organic Gin is made entirely in Idaho. USDA certified organic wheat grown at 1,000 Springs Mill Farm in Buhl is sent to Distilled Resources in Rigby, where the grain is fermented and distilled into a pristine base spirit that is then steeped in botanicals.
At the helm of 1,000 Springs Mill Farm is 3rd generation family farmer Tim Cornie. “I’m grateful to the Farmer’s Gin people for their desire to support our mission to make quality organic food accessible to all. I appreciate their trusting us to supply the organic wheat used to create this outstanding gin,” said Cornie.
“We can go from organic wheat to a finished bottle of Farmer’s Organic Gin in six days while using water drawn exclusively from our well in the Snake River Aquifer,” said Gray Ottley, Distiller & President of Distilled Resources. “After over 34 years in business, we found that the quality of the agricultural material – most notably the organic wheat as well as the remarkable botanicals we select – is by far one of the most important parts of creating a premium organic gin. We pride ourselves on working closely with local organic farmers. Tim Cornie and his partner Kurt Mason are committed to growing exceptional organic grain by using their modern and responsible farming methods to achieve the highest quality possible,” remarked Ottley.
Chatham Imports President Joseph J. Magliocco commented, “In our 15 years of selling organic spirits, the Chatham team has never been more excited about offering one. To have the opportunity to work with extraordinary farmers Tim Cornie and Kurt Mason, who grow exceptional organic grain, and a truly gifted distiller like Gray Ottley is a dream come true. We think that the result of this collaboration is a wonderful gin with unique flavor that sets it apart.”
Farmer’s Organic Gin is bottled at 93.4 proof (46.7% ABV) and is available for a suggested retail price of $34.99.
