Join Lou Bank to learn about ancestral agricultural practices through a Tequila and Mezcal tasting on the Wild Mile! Lou is the director of S.A.C.R.E.D, a nonprofit that helps improve lives in the rural Mexican communities where heritage agave spirits are made. They have gifted more than 55,000 agave seedlings to families having a hard time accessing agave. S.A.C.R.E.D has also built three projects to mitigate water-insecurity; four greenhouses; one community plaza; and is just finishing a library and a small distillery rebuild.
