MiraMira’s Wild Mediterranean
MiraMira’s Wild Mediterranean is one of the first small batch olive oil companies. We make 100% traceable olive oil down to the number of trees, exact location, and who the owner of the tree actually is. This oil is for connoisseurs who like to taste different notes between batches, and are looking for a very high quality olive oil that is not overly processed or manufactured. Our product is 100% extra virgin olive oil from Albania, right on the Mediterranean Coast. We harvested the the olives ourselves, processed it, bottled it, and shipped it to my hometown of Louisville, KY to introduce yall to the real liquid gold!
LVL1 Hackerspace
A selection of our Maker/Hacker community’s most exciting projects and creations are on display for you to witness, interact with, and become inspired to foster the joy of making. Ask us how you can get involved to pursue projects of your very own at our community workshop in Butchertown. This year we are showing off a range of individual projects in the fields of electronics, wood/metal working, computers, music,&3D printing; as well as some exciting demos of collaborative hacking and tinkering including a PowerTool Drag Race, NoHoldsBarred Pinewood Derby, Souped up Powerwheels and Alien Autopsy.
Sissonic Instruments
I’m a hobbyist luthier working with reclaimed local materials making experimental and exotic instruments from the world over. I’m looking to show off some of my projects, and hopefully connect with other makers in the same sphere and we can learn together!
