Our Story
Artivem Mead Co. is a passion project formed by a couple of friends who believe everyone has value, everyone has meaningful ideas, and there is always room for improvement. This vision for community, creativity, and quality led to a lot of research, planning, and the start of a great adventure. Which brings us to today.We are in the beginning stages of what we expect to become a driving force in our local community of Bellingham, WA and the growing mead industry. Our dream is to bring people together to share experiences, we hope to inspire creativity in others. But one thing is certain, we’re going to make really, really, really ridiculously good mead (We’re sorry - that quote probably ruined any credibility we had). Visit our tasting room or have our mead shipped to your door!

Our Name
Artivem - /’ärdə vəm/:
A combination of the Latin words Artis (Art) and Avem (Bird). This blending of words is symbolic of what Artivem Mead Co. stands for: Community and Creativity.The bird is a symbol of community as birds are inescapably associated with groups or flocks: they move together, they survive together, they live life together. We want the same for our community.

We're going to accomplish our vision by pushing the boundaries of mead-making and never settling for boring or anything less than exceptional quality.
