From Field to Bottle: Why Local Ingredients Matter at Taynton Bay Spirits
At Taynton Bay Spirits, great spirits start long before the distillation process begins. They begin in the fertile fields of British Columbia's Columbia Valley, where locally grown grain is cultivated with care, sustainability, and a commitment to quality.
That's why we're proud to source wheat from Schutter Farms, a family-owned farm located just outside Invermere, BC, overlooking beautiful Lake Windermere. Schutter Farms specializes in growing premium-quality grains specifically suited for distillation, supplying distilleries across British Columbia with locally grown, sustainably produced grain.
A True Farm-to-Bottle Story
When you enjoy a bottle of Taynton Bay Spirits, you're tasting more than award-winning craftsmanship—you're experiencing the character of the Columbia Valley itself.
Schutter Farms carefully grows hand-selected grain varieties on its 135-acre farm using environmentally conscious farming practices designed to minimize impact while maximizing quality. Their dedication to producing premium distillery grain aligns perfectly with our commitment to creating exceptional spirits using real ingredients and authentic local sources.
Crafted with Real Ingredients
We believe that great spirits don't need artificial shortcuts.
That's why every bottle of Taynton Bay Spirits is crafted using:
* Real ingredients

Supporting Local, One Bottle at a Time
Choosing locally sourced wheat helps reduce transportation distances, supports British Columbia farmers, and strengthens our local economy. It also allows us to maintain a closer connection to the ingredients that define our spirits.
From the fields outside Invermere to the glass in your hand, we're proud to celebrate the people, land, and craftsmanship that make Taynton Bay Spirits uniquely British Columbian.
