Blackleaf Organic Vodka raises a glass to National Organic Month

ATLANTA — September is National Organic Month, a time to highlight the benefits of buying organic and one Atlanta-based brand is raising a glass to sustainability.

Blackleaf Organic Vodka , co-founded by Monté Burrow and Kevin Larkai, has put organic ingredients at the heart of their product.

“When you think about organic and you think about organic products, those are the best ingredients that you could ever have in anything you make. No herbicides, no chemicals, no pesticides in the production. And in our case, it’s wheat that goes into our product,” said Burrow.

While the vodka itself is made with organic wheat, Burrow said the ink on the bottle is also organic.

“We use a little bit less glass in the manufacturing and we have a sustainable top because again, it’s important to us,”
