26th - Stride Ahead: Business Planning for Success
It's been said, and rightfully so, that the success of an entrepreneurial venture starts with the right choice of business. A few years ago Kent Fleischmann and Don Poffenroth were fly fishing. Standing knee deep in the Gallatin River they decided to escape the corporate world and live their dream by opening a craft distillery.
With only around 100 distilleries in domestic production, Don and Kent saw an opportunity in a niche market. The two spent eighteen months in the business planning stage before starting production. Both were trained in distillery operation by Christian Carl Distilleries in Germany and studied with a Professor of agricultural and chemical engineering from Michigan State. Not only did they go back to school, but they took that time to develop and position their product in their market, and aligned themselves with local Washington grain growers - 99% of their ingredients come from Washington.
In October of 2007, Dry Fly Distilling, Inc., the first grain distillery in Washington State since Prohibition, began producing vodka, gin, and whiskey.
Join us February 26, 2010 at Northern Lights and Dry Fly for great connections and information. Don Poffenroth, owner of Dry Fly, will discuss how strategic business planning positioned Dry Fly for success.
