Wildflower Holler Distillery

When Jim Thorne retired from his tree-trimming business in 2023, he had a second vocation in mind — that of learning how to produce distilled spirits, including whiskey, bourbon and moonshine. He and his wife Lisa own the rural Tonganoxie, Kansas, business, Wildflower Holler Distillery. It's agricultural from the ground up — raising corn for their CORN WHISKEY and tending to beehives on the property so that they can use their own honey in their moonshine line: TONGANOXIE THUNDER.
