The sustainability idea is two-fold: Look after the long-term well-being of the land as well as the economic status of the community responsible for the growing.

Mezcal Unión is an artisanal mezcal brand & co-op built with the intention to unite indigenous farmers and family producers from different communities of Oaxaca.
