About Us

Our purpose is to craft delicious, high-quality, functional beverages, invest in the regeneration of our planet, and use business as a conduit for positive social impact.

HISTORY

Community-centered, women-founded, and values-driven since our founding in 2008

2008, in a small Asheville kitchen, two mothers, Sarah Mullins and Jeannine Buscher, began brewing kombucha as a healthy alternative for their kids. What started as a simple act of love and nourishment quickly grew into something much bigger. Sharing their home-brewed batches with friends, family, and neighbors led to local farmers' markets, overflowing countertops, and the birth of Buchi.

In 2015, growing demand inspired us to relocate to a larger facility and dream even bigger. This vision led to the creation of FedUp Foods, expanding into private-label manufacturing to make high-quality, nutrient-dense, functional beverages more accessible. By 2020, we solidified our commitment to people, planet, and prosperity by becoming a Public Benefit Corporation. We take pride in being part of a growing community dedicated to using business as a force for good, benefitting not only us but also all who come after us.

Today, FedUp Foods is North America’s largest fermented beverage manufacturer, with Buchi serving as our innovation platform to launch and trial new products. Our original purpose remains unchanged: is to craft delicious, high-quality, functional beverages, invest in the regeneration of our planet, and use business as a conduit for positive social impact.
