The Guild subcontracted with its member distillers to produce the soap and purchased the raw materials and packaging for the finished product. The contract, which ended in 2021 produced revenues in excess of $1.43 Million and resulted in a net profit of over $830,000 during the 2020 calendar year, and in excess of $392,000 generating a loss for 2021 of a little over $15,000.
