Once referred to as America’s First Wilderness area by scholars that traced the start of the environmental conservation movement to this area, the Catskill Mountains have long been famous for the majestic mountain ranges to the pristine lake waters. The former Friar Tuck Inn is located in Greene County just a few miles away from Kaaterskill Falls, the highest waterfalls in New York.
Michael Welch, President and Chief Executive Officer of Rocky Mountain High Brands, said, “The demographics of this part of upper state New York have changed over the past few years. What was once in demand as a resort area, now is part of a region in need of more employment opportunities. Repurposing the Resort to a bottling plant and canning plant will provide jobs to the area and will provide our Company with an important bottling and canning center in the Northeast. There are many grants available for projects such as this. These grants are set up to provide jobs for upstate New York. Since the new bottling plant will be located on a natural spring, RMHB will have tremendous opportunity to bottle our Eagle Spirit Spring Water and canning our Rocky Mountain High Brands’ five flavored Hemp drinks. We also will bottle the local water and add another brand of water to our product portfolio. We are very pleased to have the opportunity to acquire this important asset for our Company’s growth, as we continue our path toward listing on a national stock exchange.”
Jerry Grisaffi, Founder of Rocky Mountain High Brands, said, “This is a tremendous opportunity brought forth to us by Mrs. Lily Li’s group, LSW Holdings, LLC. This new location is in the heart of the northeast corridor of the United States and will allow easy access to distribution pipelines. The bottling plant is located right at the source of a naturally pure aquifer and will provide us an invaluable resource that can be bottled and shipped anywhere in the world.”
