<b>Jessica Schacht</b> is the cofounder of the multigenerational family-run Ampersand Distilling Company and author of the History Glass column in the <i>Cowichan Valley Voice</i>. When she’s not whipping up new recipes for the distillery, you can bet she’s tending to her garden or walking in the woods. She is grateful to live in the Cowichan Valley in the home she shares with her husband and sons.
