Our partnership, Dutch Barn
We’re proud to partner with Dutch Barn, a forward-thinking company that shares our commitment to creating a better world for animals and people alike.
This collaboration is built on shared values of sustainability, social responsibility and community impact, with an extra serve of humour.
About Dutch Barn
Dutch Barn Orchard Vodka is made with 100% British apples. They have partnered with us on one of their natural flavour innovations, Ginger Spiced.
Dutch Barn is owned by Ellers Farm a Certified B Corporation, meeting high standards for environmental and social performance. From day one, they’ve operated as a carbon-neutral business, with a roadmap to achieve net zero by 2040.
They’ve planted over 8,800 trees, restored local habitats and funded climate projects that have prevented hundreds of tonnes of CO₂ emissions.
Their dedication to sustainability runs deep - using bottles made from 68% recycled glass, lightweight aluminium packaging to reduce emissions and sourcing ingredients responsibly.
Our partnership
In October 2025, Ellers Farm launched a new flavour Ginger Spiced Orchard Vodka, and with it, a commitment to helping donkeys worldwide. Donkeys love apples and ginger, so it’s really a partnership made in heaven.
Through their generous pledge to donate 25% of profits (a minimum of £1 for every bottle of Ginger Spiced Orchard Vodka sold), Dutch Barn is helping us deliver life-changing care for donkeys and mules in need.
By choosing Ginger Spiced, customers are not only enjoying a tasty product but also joining a movement to protect and care for donkeys everywhere.
The impact
The funds from our partnership with Ellers Farm Distillery are helping to support vital work such as:
Sanctuary, rescue and rehabilitation: Giving donkeys in need a safe haven and the care they deserve.
Global welfare projects: Improving conditions for working donkeys and mules in some of the world’s most challenging environments.
Education and advocacy: Raising awareness about donkey welfare and promoting humane treatment worldwide.
Ending the donkey skin trade: Helping us to campaign against the skin trade which is decimating millions of donkeys around the world every year.
Ricky Gervais, co-owner of Dutch Barn:
“Drinking vodka and saving donkeys at the same time is an irresistible cocktail.”
