Our Story

We are Jesse and Ashlyn Gagnon

Owners of Orthodox Farmhouse Brewery. We started Orthodox out of a desire to marry Jesse’s passion and experience as a brewer, with our love of the Ozarks and an agrarian lifestyle.

We practice an agrarian, small-batch brewing tradition because it keeps us grounded to a slower, more intentional way of living and working. We celebrate the community, traditions, and craftsmen that make the Ozarks unique, because we believe that place matters—and our place is pretty special.

Connection to one another, to the land, and to craftsmanship. At Orthodox, we want to be a place where friends and neighbors regularly gather to share in life’s moments both big and small.

We believe that great beer can restore connection
