Minnesota Organic Distillery

Eating organic, buying organic and now, drinking organic.  A distillery in Washington is one of first to produce organic liquor.

On Bainbridge Island, located about one hour from Seattle, Bainbridge Distillery is producing the state's first all-organic spirits.  This means they must buy 100% of organic ingredients.  But, liquor-maker Keith Barnes says it's worth it.

"I think people are a lot more aware of what they're putting in their bodies."  Barnes says.  One reason he's producing organic alcohol.

The spirits don't go on sale until September, but there's already a waiting list for what's sure to be a popular product.

 There is Minnesota-based company that's also working to produce organic alcohol.  It's called Prairie Organic Vodka and is distributed from Phillips Distilling.  Visit this website to learn more:
