Kennay Farms Distilling is a family-owned craft distillery rooted in agriculture, sustainability, and multi-generation stewardship. What began as a working family farm grew into a distilling operation with the goal of creating a lasting business that future generations of the Kennay family could return home to. After a two-year renovation of a historic theater building, the distillery opened its doors in 2019.

Kennay Farms Distilling produces spirits made with corn grown on the family farm and locally sourced small grains. From planting and harvesting to distilling and bottling, every step of the process is handled with care and precision by members of the Kennay family. This hands-on approach ensures consistency, quality, and a strong connection to the land.

Visitors are welcome to experience the distillery, learn about the farm-to-glass process, and sample spirits crafted with an emphasis on craftsmanship, sustainability, and hard work. Kennay Farms Distilling offers a place where agriculture, history, and modern distilling come together in a setting shaped by family values.
