A Bow Island-based distillery has easy access to Calgary's 1.3 million population, Lethbridge's 93,000 population, and Medicine Hat's 63,000 population. Bow Island is in the heart of Canada's best agricultural growing region, surrounded by high-quality crops, irrigation, and a well-populated regional market. Add in a highly motivated, entrepreneurial population rooted in agricultural production and Bow Island has all the ingredients to open a successful distillery. Rural distilleries are popping up across the province, proving remoteness is not a restricting factor.
