Episodes
We are going to be taking a break.

We talk a little about our journey through the vessels that we use from 5-gallon jars to 200-gallon tanks.

For us to do what matters to us, requires a lot of ingenuity. We hope this episode inspires you to appreciate the craft. Get our Kombucha delivered to your door! visit us on our store to order...
