Dear Fellow Kombucha Lovers,
Happy Solstice! After a decade of dedicated service to the Kombucha industry, I’m writing to share a heartfelt decision. My passion for Kombucha remains unwavering, and it’s time for me to return to my roots at Kombucha Kamp. This wasn’t an easy decision, but it’s one I’ve carefully considered, balancing my desire to continue serving with family and business responsibilities.
Alex and I co-founded KBI in 2013 as an outgrowth of Kombucha Kamp’s mission of “changing the world, one gut at a time.” We always knew we’d have to do it in symbiosis, just like our mother culture, the SCOBY. Community is at the core of Kombucha’s microscopic dance of fermentation and is at the heart of KBI’s values.
While this transition is bittersweet, I know the legacy Alex & I created will live forever. At Kombucha Kamp, I remain a staunch advocate and ally of the culture I adore. I’m confident that this change will lead to new growth in our industry.
As I reflect on the past 10 years, I see that together we’ve forged a tremendous path and created a strong foundation for our nascent industry. These past 10 years have paved the way for our future success. Here are some of the milestones we’ve achieved together along the way.
This short list of our many challenges overcome and accomplishments achieved highlights the essence of why we exist as an organization. I will say it again – “The world needs Kombucha now more than ever!” Especially in these challenging times and we need to stick together. Partnering with KBI via membership dollars is what funds research and education campaigns.
Looking forward to 2024, it is my sincere pleasure to announce that Kendra Sepúlveda of Apopacho Kombucha is taking the helm as the interim Executive Director. She shares a vision for the industry that will carry us through this time of change. As I transition, I’ll remain involved with KBI through the board. I also plan to take a sabbatical to reflect on this unique experience. I look forward to supporting the next generation of industry leaders who share our passion.
Microbes are magic. Trust YOUR gut. We grow together.
Best,
Hannah Ruhamah, “The Kombucha Mamma”, Crum
