From Adirondack Source To Market Launch

Realm Artesian Water is officially in market mode. Orders are now open, and the first 12 packs are shipping soon.

This is the kind of milestone we love to see because it is where the plan meets real demand. SHG partnered with the Realm team to build the business plan, sharpen the strategy, and pressure test the numbers so this launch could move forward with clarity.

Now the focus turns to execution. Realm has the product, the story, and a clear path to grow.

Meet Realm

Realm Artesian Water is built around a single artesian source in the Adirondacks region of New York State. It started with two brothers who found an ancient artesian well while camping and decided to share that water with people who care about its origin and taste. Realm positions itself as a premium option for moments where a clean, refined taste matters. The business plan is straightforward. Bottle perfectly balanced water; use glass and other non-porous containers; and keep the product true to its natural form without chemical engineering.


What Makes Realm Different

Realm leads with specifics, not hype. The water has a naturally alkaline pH around 8.0 and total dissolved solids (TDS) around 160, which gives it a clean taste and a balanced mineral profile that is easy to describe and defend.

The source story matters too. Realm is drawn from deep artesian aquifers tied to the Adirondacks preserve, and the brand positions the water as unfiltered and untreated with no artificial purification steps. It also makes a clear claim around perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), stating the water is free of those artificial contaminants.

Then there is the packaging choice. Realm bottles in glass and backs it up with plastic-free, recyclable shipping materials.


Orders Are Open!

Realm is now taking orders for its 12-pack. Each case includes 12, 16-ounce bottles, which is about 473 milliliters per bottle. The listed price is $78. The Realm team notes that you should plan on about three weeks for delivery. Taxes and shipping are calculated at checkout.


Where SHG Comes In

Realm had a rare asset and a real green light. The brothers had the water tested and achieved success in receiving a bulk water license from the Department of Health to extract and sell it. However, they still needed assistance monetizing the business.


That is where our team stepped in. We were retained to develop a comprehensive business plan, build out the team, and hire a CEO. That foundational work led to the marketing, the branding, the capital raises, and Realm's recent success in securing a bottling facility license—a very different milestone from the initial bulk license.


This work is
what we do best. We bring a transparent approach and an operator’s mindset, then work alongside owners as decisions get real. The goal is simple. Help a good business become a valuable one.


Why Early Orders Matter For A New Brand

Early orders do more than start revenue. They turn interest into a clear demand signal, so production and fulfillment follow real numbers. Orders help with inventory planning by forecasting the minimum quantities needed to fulfill orders. They can bring in cash before a product ships, helping fund early inventory purchases.
