Foundry Distilling Company owner Scott Bush began working on Templeton Rye whiskey in his apartment in Cambridge, Mass., in 2002, while a student at the Sloan School of Business at MIT. Scott’s great grandfather, Frank Schroeder, was born in Templeton and was an "entrepreneur during prohibition" who made Templeton Rye at the family farm outside of Arcadia and later Odebolt, Iowa. Scott sold controlling interest in Templeton Rye in 2016 and started working on Foundry Distilling Company. He chose to focus on producing and distilling authentic, high-quality spirits right here in Iowa with local input, involvement and control.

Foundry Distilling Company can create virtually any spirit, in large or small amounts. It has the core Foundry Collection, the Heritage Collection and many other unique specialty products. Foundry also offers spirit enthusiasts the unique opportunity to produce completely customizable private barrels of whiskey and custom labeled spirits.

Since we opened our dairy doors in 1930, our goal has always been to deliver the freshest, highest-quality dairy to our neighbors. That’s why we follow time-honored family recipes, use only the highest-quality milk from Iowa family farms, taste-test each product every week to make sure it’s just right, and never, ever take shortcuts. These ridiculously high standards may slow down production of our milks, flavored milks, cottage cheeses, yogurts, juices, and favorites like holiday egg nogs and Party Dip, but we believe that goodness takes time.
