The Sussex Craft Distillery officially launched in late 2017 Inspired by the history of local beverage manufacturing—including the legacy of Sussex Mineral Springs and Sussex Golden Ginger Ale—the founders recognized a prime opportunity to utilize New Brunswick's local grains, fruits, and maple syrup.
The distillery pays homage to local heritage through its product line. For example, their Ward’s Creek Whiterum acts as a tribute to the historical bootleggers and rum runners who operated throughout the backroads of the area.
Bringing in lots of entrainment. Today we listened to Jacob Chevarie and Holly Joanne Campbell they were great.
What a history one family has made. Established in 1875 by Shippy Spurr, Spur Brothers Farm s a fifth-generation family operation in Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley. Spanning roughly 1,000 acres, the operation has evolved from a 62-acre hay and apple farm into a modern agricultural destination featuring a market and taproom.
1875: Shippy Spurr started the farm, becoming one of the province's leading apple exporters and a vocal advocate for agriculture.
1921: Shippy's son, William, joined the farm, adding potatoes and becoming one of the first growers of McIntosh Red apples.
Present Day: The farm is currently run by Bill's children—William, Lisa Jenereaux, and Katie Campbell—marking the first generation to have women on the lease.
Today, the farm produces over 20 varieties of apples, strawberries, onions, carrots, and soybeans. To diversify and build a local community destination, the family expanded their enterprise to include the Spur Brothers Fam and Taproom in Wilmot, where they sell fresh produce and brew their own house-made hard cider
