Nate Randall, Hinterhaus Distilling
Nate and Bonnie Randall are Co-Founders at Hinterhaus Distilling in the California Sierra. A former HR executive, Nate leaned into his passion for spirits, creation, and learning by launching Hinterhaus with his wife in 2020. In addition to distillation, Nate oversees product development, aging, and blending. Sourcing local ingredients and forging nearby partnerships, Hinterhaus’ rugged mountain region is reflected in every small batch spirit produced.
Harvey Williams, Delta Dirt Distillery
Harvey grew up as a farm boy in the Arkansas Delta. He and his brothers are 4th generation farmers on their land in Philips County near Helena, AR.  Harvey left for college and earned a degree in Agricultural Engineering, but instead of his original plan to return home and farm, he went on to work 29 years in the meat and snack food industry all over the US.  Truth is, he and his wife always wanted to return to where they grew up, so a few years ago they did.  Harvey also wanted to be close to his family’s farm, but not necessarily working it in the traditional sense.  The idea of starting a distillery checked every box in terms of building a business from the farm, except Harvey decided to make it hard on himself and use the farm’s sweet potatoes to make a world-class vodka.  Thus the birthing of Delta Dirt Distillery!
