Mainstem Malt is in the home stretch of our first equity crowdfund campaign and we need your help to finish strong.
As Mainstem approaches its November 18th closing date on Wefunder, we're asking for all the help we can get in building momentum across the finish line. As of 9/20, we’ve raised $119k from 162 investors, in pursuit of a $1 Million max.
For those who've invested or have it high on the to-do list, many thanks for believing in us. Whether you’re in it primarily for the positive social and environmental impact, exciting innovation in craft beverages and agriculture, or a compelling financial return, your involvement is unlocking big opportunities for our (read: your) growing company.
Can you help us spread the word?
We put together some simple actions you can take right now. We hope it helps you communicate your support of Mainstem and our growing network of family farms, maltsters, brewers, distilleries, and other malty stakeholders.

Testimonials like these ones from Aimee & Matt:
Within some individuals exists a balanced intellect, curiosity, courage, wit, drive and heart. Phil and Alyssa are those people. Our landscapes need leaders with the capacity to see the integration of business, ecosystem restoration, and resilient rural economies. Mainstem Malt is the type of organization that will create functional and achievable improvements to systems in deep need of transition. As ranchers in the region there is an instant sense of trust and relief knowing that Phil & Alyssa will be providing direction and holding accountability to a vision of place that we all want to be in fifty years from now. — Aimee Danch at Square Mile Ranch
As a grower, student, community leader and entrepreneur, [I see that] Phil has developed an innate, nuanced understanding of ag supply chain problems. He has smartly focused on malt and use cases for brewers and distillers— one of the most profitable and fastest growing parts of the NW ag ecosystem. As he experiments and creates value in this space he may ultimately create a platform that revolutionizes all kinds of ways agricultural products become consumer products. — Matt Dittrich
