Proposed winery needs your help!

Urban Forage, the proposed winery on Lake St. that the Messenger reported on in our July 2014 issue, has geared up a Kickstarter campaign to raise the funds ($19,800) for the necessary equipment to make the fruit wine, cider and mead from “locally crowd sourced” fruit, flowers, and honey. Jeff and Gita Zeitler have spent more than 6 months upgrading and converting a foreclosed pawn shop on Lake St. for their proposed winery… and if they succeed, Urban Forage would be the first winery in the Twin Cities. The Kickstarter campaign, which started Oct. 17, runs only through Nov. 22. You can see the campaign, and pledge, by going to www.kickstarter.com and searching project “Urban Forage Winery.” This Kickstarter campaign will only be funded if the full $19800 is pledged by the closing date.
