About Us.
Made in Virginia. Blue Ridge Bucha has been handcrafting delicious kombucha in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia since 2010. Our brewery is located in beautiful Waynesboro, Virginia, nestled in between Nelson and Augusta Counties, not far from Wintergreen Resort.
A Family Business. We are owned by a Richmond-based family — Angie, Hank, Franklin, Dotty, and Jasper Heyming. Everyone takes part in the business in some way, from loading boxes to sales. If you’ve been to a farmer’s market or festival, or happened upon an in-store demo, chances are you’ve met a few of us. (Jasper in particular loves to give out “tasty” samples.) It is Hank, though, who spends the most time on site at the brewery, working with the Blue Ridge Bucha Team to continue the tradition of making real kombucha that tastes great.
Traditions. Most importantly, although the makeup of the Blue Ridge Bucha Team has changed over the years, our company’s commitment to quality and to our mission of sustainability has remained at our core.
Finally, a REAL kombucha that tastes GREAT.
Quality & Taste. Today, we brew with the same SCOBY culture that our original founders began working with over a decade ago, and we continue to use all-natural, 100% organic ingredients to create our bright and unique flavors, including fresh juices (never from concentrate) and in-house, cold-pressed fruits, herbs, and roots. Lightly carbonated, our beverages are crisp and refreshing while also being Certified USDA Organic, non-GMO, gluten free, verified non-alcoholic, and vegan. Blue Ridge Bucha is never pasteurized and requires refrigeration to maintain its live probiotic cultures.
Sustainability. Blue Ridge Bucha is committed to being a leader in what it means to be a "sustainable" business. We are dedicated to taking green measures whenever and however possible to reduce our impact on the world. Since 2010, Blue Ridge Bucha drinkers have saved over one million bottles bottles (and counting) by using growlers and our refillable glass bottles to fill up on their favorite flavors of Blue Ridge Bucha wherever we are found on tap. With every refill, Blue Ridge Bucha drinkers are making a difference one delicious bottle at a time!
The Best.
We know you have many choices when it comes to drinks, with new brands of kombucha seeming to pop up daily. Hopefully next time you’re looking for a healthy beverage (or any beverage), you’ll reach for a Blue Ridge Bucha — quite possibly the best tasting and most Earth-friendly kombucha around.
