René’s Kombucha Story

 
 

OUR STORY


While teaching a class on cultured foods at the old Wise Cicada Cafe in Newmarket in 2011, several of René's students asked if he would be selling his Kombucha. His unbelieving response was: "I just taught you how to make it. Go home and start brewing!" The demand was insisting though. So René started brewing for a few regular hard core friends and Kombucha aficionados.

In 2012, a life-changing coaching program with Sally Anderson led to proper bottles and labels and our brand definition. In March 2013 René's Kombucha was born.

The one below here was one of our first bottles.

In October 2013 our still current Red Berry, Pomegranante and Lemon Ginger flavours were born.

René has a lot of kids

When René isn’t making kombucha he is looking after the kids, the sheep, the cattle and all the other myriad of things needed to tend to the organic farm.
