Lauren Drummond

The festival was founded by Lauren Drummond, a freelance entertainment journalist, who started Greenergy Productions, LLC, in 2011, a Women Minority owned business. Because of early-stage Parkinson’s disease, her journalism is limited. After meeting local spirit producers, and having previously hosted other events, Drummond launched the, now annual, festival. Over time, she nurtured and expanded the gathering with cider/wine/spirits tastings, cooking workshops, live entertainment, and others.
