LOL...the beauty of this is that all the licensing is in place, all the recipes, etc. It's a package deal you can just move into and start selling!!

Their mead is also award-winning, so they make good stuff.
 
Do you know what kind of setup they have? Bbl/year? Do they have employees or is it owner-run?
 
The owner is John Cosgrove, drop him a line. His email should be in the meadery directory. He'll have all the details...

Now, to figure out how to 1) Move to TN, and 2) Raise the $600K....maybe a bake sale?
 
I'm also good for $100... That's what... 1/6000 share? Guess I won't have much in the way of voting rights.

All shareholders get a vote. Though you might only get one. ;)

If only this was happening about 3-5 years from now, I would totally go for it. Tell John to save it for me? ;D
 
It's sounding really good as I try and teach science to a bunch o' 9th graders!


Just change the name of the class to "Influence of Mass Media and Pop Culture on Public Perception of Science & Technology" and then show movies & YouTube clips all year. Start with 2001 & Dr Strangelove, then move to the Diet Coke & mentos videos. Mythbusters would also be excellent fodder (though they often make horrible assumptions and their "scale" models are usually not). I would take that class!

I WANT THIS MEADERY!

*sigh

sometimes I hate living low income. currently putting out feelers for a benefactor? and/or shareholders?

it's called Shady Grove! for a bluegrass lover, that's a clincher.

I can sure tell YOU went to Berkeley! Lots of D-Cal classes much like that!

Don't I just wish...if only we didn't have to deal with all those pesky standards and exams in the spring and stuff. :(

There used to be a psychedelics class there, if you go to the school I think you do. Oh, liberal-arts-isn't-liberal-enough schools...
