L.R.M. has been working at a sprinting pace to get opened in 2013. Due to interest in our products from Missouri and Arkansas distributors outpacing our original projections, we have quickly realized that the canning line we had budgeted for is undersized and will not allow us to launch Leaky Roof to all of our supporters and fans across the Ozarks for quite some time. We here at Leaky Roof work hard to spread the word about mead to the Ozarks and to support our local homebrewers and winemakers. We are always humbled by the support and praise we have receive from beer and wine makers and enthusiasts across the Ozarks and firmly feel that without their support we would not be endeavoring to open so ambitious a project. Our goal is to raise funds to purchase a semi-automatic or even fully automatic canning line in order to facilitate packaging enough product to bring mead to anywhere in the Ozarks where they are thirsty for it.
What is the "The Leaky Roof"?
The Leaky Roof Railroad’s real name was the Kansas City, Clinton and Springfield Railroad (KCC&S). It ran northwest out of Springfield to Ash Grove and then North to Osceola, Clinton, Garden City and on into Kansas before it reached Kansas City. Originally built to haul coal, marble, and clay tile out of Henry County Missouri to the major commercial hubs of Springfield and Kansas City, over the years it would become a lifeline connecting the region, hauling agricultural products (particularly strawberries, flour, passengers and even the circus). For us the Leaky Roof represents a golden age of Southwest Missouri and an extinct way of life that gave this area the color and history it has today. Many of our labels and images are inspired by this history and our goals as a company in this region hope to revive a little of that industry and agriculture. For more information visit the Truman Area Community Networks page on the history of the Leaky Roof. The railroad will be coming to you soon!

We would also like to thank Pete Bakulic, Vicky Rowe, and everyone who helps make gotmead.com and the Mazer Cup a possibility every year! You’re the best!
