Elmwood distillery takes shape

Gallagher Farms in Elmwood Township, which is perhaps best known as the venue for Bay View Weddings, is getting a new distillery tasting room.

Although the Gallaghers still need to complete construction and secure their federal and state licenses, they hope to open for business in late summer or early fall 2025.

John Gallagher III represented Gallagher Farms when they applied for permits at the township level. Gallagher said they are opening a distillery in part to ensure the continued economic viability of the family farm.
