Meet The Team
Aaron Fuhr: Co-Founder and Master Distiller
Aaron's journey into winemaking began serendipitously when he developed an allergy to hops, leading him to explore alternatives to beer. With an abundance of honey from his parents' beehive, Aaron crafted his first batch of mead. Years of perfecting small batches led to sharing with friends and family, who encouraged him to bring his delicious mead to a wider audience. In 2017, Fuhr Estate Winery was born, and by 2018, it was officially incorporated. Inspired by his great-grandfather's moonshine stories from the prohibition era, Aaron also ventured into producing award-winning moonshine.
Clayton: Co-Founder
Clayton’s passion for creating high-quality mead and spirits began, like many great ventures, over drinks. The journey has been long and fulfilling, rooted in a family history of moonshine production. Clayton's grandfather was known for his moonshine, even eluding local law enforcement with clever hiding spots. Today, Clayton works alongside Aaron, Brenda, and Desi to establish a local meadery and distillery that honors these traditions while aiming for the highest standards.
Brenda: Co-Founder
For over 40 years, Brenda has lived and worked on the family farm with her husband. Together, they have raised four boys and cultivated various crops and animals. The dream of making a living from the farm took a new turn with the idea of creating mead, which soon expanded to include moonshine. Brenda is thrilled to be part of this adventure, turning innovative ideas into reality while continuing to enjoy life on the farm.
Desi: Co-Founder & Sustainability Advocate
Desi is dedicated to creating an environmentally conscious, farm-to-table business using locally sourced materials. Growing up on the farm, Desi developed a deep appreciation for the land and now aims to create something lasting for future generations. Desi's vision is to return the farm to its roots as a working farm, not just in the traditional sense, but as a sustainable enterprise that produces exceptional mead and spirits.
