Leslie Farhangi was practicing law in New York City but was looking for a change.
Twenty years ago, she and her husband John Tuke moved their three sons to Hudson Valley, New York and purchased a peony farm. Five years later, the equestrian decided to also board retired horses as well.
Life was good but she is inherently a practical girl.
“I wanted to do something else with all those flowers,” she says.
As we all know, peonies have a heavenly scent but only last for a few weeks in June.
Farhangi was wondering in reverie one day, wouldn’t it be nice to bottle that scent? And that’s how the idea of peony vodka was developed and her company Three Meadows & A Pony was launched.
