At Hacienda Carreño the mezcal was shared during three big parties a year, the first, on Apolonio's birthday in February; the second, at the end of the milling of the sugar cane in April and the third, with the harvest of the corn crops at the end of the year. Today, the tradition of making mezcal is kept alive, preserving the artisanal process using wild & cultivated agaves. Mezcal Carreño is ensuring the future by planting over 30,000 agaves since 2017 and additional plots every year. They support multiple non-profits both in Oaxaca and Arizona. In Oaxaca Gók-nenna, meaning "Help me" in zapoteco, has a focus on helping the Zapotec Indigenous women. In Arizona the Urban Agave Initiative helps plant agaves in the Phoenix and Tucson communities to support the endangered mexican long-nosed and shorter-nosed bats. These bats are critical to supporting the desert ecosystem as pollinators of the night.
