When we the Buchi Mama’s met through our kid’s homeschool co-op 7 years ago, we couldn’t yet imagine how our friendship, fermentation and the business which resulted would transform our lives. It started as a simple idea:  brew and share kombucha with our community. We were born at the farmer’s market and grew up at a shared community kitchen in the mountains outside Asheville, NC. At the time, only one national brand of kombucha was on the shelf and people were thirsting for something that tasted more like home.

In the winter of ‘09, we moved into a retired wine distribution warehouse secluded amidst an organic farm which we have since transformed into the first commercial kombucha brewery in the southeast.
