Our groundbreaking ceremony took place on Friday, April 11! With heartfelt gratitude, we want to thank Kellie Sites, President of the Waconia Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber Ambassadors, Mayor Jim Nash, Waconia City Staff, our State Legislators, Tim Forcier of Sondergaard Forcier Builders, and our families, friends and all in the community who supported us along the way to get to this point. We could not have done it without you! We look forward to all the future holds and can’t wait for the first day of production at J. Carver Distillery. You heard correctly. Bill, who doesn't normally sport a beard, is growing one out in anticipation of our first drop of spirits to come out of our still. Stay tuned...
