From alpine forests to wildflower prairies, her journey is one of boundless joy and a steadfast dedication to sustainable, plant-powered skin care.
Company Pitch: Lazy Z Ranch Wines
Lazy Z Ranch Wines is Oregon’s sole farmhouse meadery, situated on Sisters historic Lazy Z Ranch. In 2020, John Herman and his family began regenerative bee ranching and honey production at the ranch. Mead – or honey wine – is a diverse and elegant beverage resulting from the fermentation of the sugars found in flowers, aka honey.
While Lazy Z Ranch Wines will collaboratively dabble in all sorts of Oregon-farmed and foraged fermentations, they are a mead-centric winery. The first offering will be an Estate Mead – one of the only commercially available meads in the world to hold that distinction – made entirely from honey produced at the Lazy Z.
