Benjamin Devon, wine aficionado and food industry expert, joined the team in the Fall of ‘22.
What we do.
At SUCCESSION Fermentory we grow, we forage, and we ferment with the aim of capturing flavors and experience that our unique to our region and our place in time. The work we do keeps our environmental footprint small, while supporting our local economy and contributing to the growing diversity of local agricultural practices and products. We are a true farmhouse brewery.
