About

OUR STORY

Farming and distilling are not just jobs, for us, it’s a way of life!  Our family has been toiling with soils and crops for over 7 consecutive generations from 1790 in Europe to Three Hills – Alberta since 1942 and now in Summerland, BC since 1973.

Our venture back into distilling is a direct result of the government opening the doors for the use of 100% BC grains and fruits from farms just like ours. This is our rare opportunity to take back distilling, if only just a little bit, from the foreign owned distilleries in Canada and give back to BC farmers…

MANAGEMENT

Graham Martens had a vision for Old Order Distilling creating a combination of traditional distilling methods with new and creative ideas for locally made spirits.

Graham is a professional biologist who set out to re-learn the craft of artisan distilling with a focus on the farm to glass process. Today, he can be found working at the distillery with some help from his family and friends. He is incredibly excited to be creating unique distilled spirits, by hand, that others will enjoy.
