Life

By 2009, Ulmer she was in front of her house selling her lemonade inspired by her great grandmother’s 1940s recipe, using honey from local beekeepers which includes flaxseed. The lemonade sold well and she was asked by a local pizza shop to supply her product to it, which is how bottling her lemonade started. Since her humble beginnings, Mikaila has donated 10% of the profits to charities that are concerned with saving the bees.
