Banhez Mezcal is owned and operated by the families of the U.P.A.D.E.C Co-operative in Ejutla, Oaxaca. Our members, located throughout the hills and valleys of Ejutla, come together to grow, harvest, distill, and package, every bottle of mezcal.

 
 

FARMER AND FAMILY OWNED

 

Francisco Javier Perez Cruz is transforming the tradition of making mezcal.

The life of a mezcalero once meant inconsistent work, low wages and an uncertain future. The farming families behind the Banhez Cooperative are changing this, improving lives today and for generations, but it was not always this way.
