We are a small operation that prioratized people over profit. This is because we've seen what national brands do in order to maximize their gains. National brands have to cut corners and sacrifice product authenticity in order to ship their products across the country. We will never filter, preserve, or pasteurize our culture because that's the way Nature intended it! We will always package in glass because we understand the issues with exposing our customers to plastic lined cans! It's simply not how we do things. Our dedication to our craft is clear.
