Yeah, it’s an interesting mix of characters, values and place: Christian Myrah, a former Navy combat fighter pilot from a Norwegian farmer/warrior background, now distilling hyper-local bourbon and whiskey using corn and grain grown on his family’s Minnesota certified organic farm. Then there’s Dessa, a singer/writer/rapper/poet born and of the Twin Cities, member of indie hip-hop crew Doomtree, living half-time in New York City where she visits her Puerto Rican relatives, performing with the Minnesota Orchestra, and touring worldwide.
Dessa’s Time & Distance bourbon
Together, they collaborated on Time & Distance, a certified organic bourbon that’s as smooth as silk.
It does make sense when you consider that both continually strive to raise the bar for excellence in their respective fields, they seek out good food and farming practices, and collaborate with talent and resources close to home.
I hope you enjoy this Deep Roots Radio with Christian, founder and CEO of RockFilter Distillery, Spring Grove, Minnesota.
As Dave and I look forward to 2017, and look back on the several few years, I again appreciate an interview I did with American Public Media’s Chris Farrell last year. Chris’ program is about unretirement – what people are planning and doing as they retire from one career and move into the next part of their lives. Thanks again, Chris, for visiting Bull Brook Keep and for considering the values David and I strive to live as we’ve made that shift from our city-based careers to our farm-anchored lives.
I hope you enjoy this interview. Bonus: the episode ends with Dessa’s “Beekeeper.”
You can find out lots more about Chris’s program, resources and other interviews at Facebook.com/unretirement.
And, I trust you will have an absolutely wonderful New Year! Sylvia
