La Tierra de Acre Mezcal is a small-batch mezcal producer operating within the food and beverage services sector, based in Los Angeles, California. The brand traces its origins to a bootleg operation started in 2017 near San Jose del Cabo at Acre Baja, a 25-acre site renowned for its organic farms, treehouses, and private event spaces, and officially entered the Los Angeles market in early 2020. The mezcal is crafted by traditional, small-batch mezcaleros whose work reflects their heritage and the land, and the company has earned recognition in the spirits community, including a Double Gold and three Silver medals at the 2020 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. Sustainability initiatives include labels made from repurposed agave fiber waste and repurposing production waste into adobe bricks for the local community. The company also works to protect agave biodiversity by allowing natural growth for wild varietals and planting hundreds of thousands of agave seeds in nurseries for eventual transplantation. With a small team based in Los Angeles, the business operates in the craft mezcal segment, reflecting an emphasis on artisanal production and heritage.
