Since inception in 2000, MM has been producing this alcoholic beverage, which takes 80 minutes to ferment and one month to mature. The reputation of their mead is growing abroad. MM’s Honey Sun Mead is now sold in 37 American states.  For two consecutive years (2006 and 2007) MM’s African Herbal Mead won a gold medal at the International Mead Festival in Colorado. Their spicy African Bird’s Eye Chilli Mead also won a silver medal in its category in 2007.  Although local demand for mead varies annually, MM produces 150 000 bottles of mead every year.
