Jan's Valu-Mart now stocks local kombucha! 

We're excited to be featured in the healthy produce and salad bar section in Deep River's grocery store. Thanks to store owner, Jan Sunstrum, you'll see Mango Lassi and Cranberry Chill kombucha right alongside some of our favourites like Cedar Juices, and Renée's Dressings. 

We're always amazed at how much of a variety you can find here in town and appreciate the large assortment of fresh produce. Valu-Mart has seen a few changes over the past year and we're always on the lookout for what's new in store. 

Valu-Mart has been the centre of Deep River for quite some time. You could go so far as to say it has been an integral part of our social life. The locals will tell you they can't plan on just popping in for a quick shop because they'll run into about twenty people they know. Catching up with an old friend, checking up on local happenings, making after-work plans... all happening right in store. 

In addition to our many large grocery purchases (when you've got 6 in the family, it's either you're making one huuuuuuge shop a week, or you're there just about everyday!) we've enjoyed many a lunch from Valu-Mart, grab-and-go hot meals, and sometimes the deli section will surprise us with yet another new and exciting cheese.

We've got to know the friendly staff (you know it's a great place to work when you're seeing some of the same faces for over twenty years!) and one of us even WAS an employee for three years (oh the high school Valu-Mart days! only just a few years ago, right!? ;) 

With all the departments of a large city grocery store, and very accommodating staff and services, you'll know why some out-of-towners come to shop in Deep River. We're stoked to have our kombucha on the shelves just for that reason. Come Summer time, Deep River becomes a popular spot for city folk to grab a bite to eat (an artisan kombucha too perhaps!?), and flock to the sandy shores of the Ottawa River. Summer is a-coming!

A big thanks again to Jan and three cheers to our friends at Valu-Mart!

Our kombucha has made its way to The Cottage Cup in beautiful Golden Lake, ON. This is going to make for pleasant delivery days come Summertime! 

A gem of a shop, The Cottage Cup features fresh made-in-house goods, bulk coffee, a large selection of loose-leaf tea (have you seen that wall of tea!?), an amazing assortment of clothing and gifts, and locally made products. In the warmer months, you can grab a bite to eat at their food truck, The Boat House BBQ & Fries. Friends, this ain't your average food truck! In addition to the typical delicious food truck fare, there are healthy, gourmet options made with fresh, local ingredients. We can't wait to see what's on the menu for this year!

Owners Amanda and Donaven have made The Cottage Cup a wonderful stop for both locals and tourists alike, combining the best in giftware and delicious eats. Most recently, they have launched their healthy freezer meals to go, spearheaded by our friend and fellow Holistic Nutritionist, Paula, of The Alternate Root.  

With so many reasons to make the scenic drive to visit The Cottage Cup in Golden Lake, it's a must to add to your list of day tours and a good excuse to grab a friend for a road trip.  

*FRIENDLY REMINDER*

Hey all! We wanted to write a quick note about our 1L bottle program. 

We appreciate the support and participation in our 1L refill program at The Olive Tree in Deep River and LEAP Health Hub. We want to continue this on tap system as it is environmentally friendly and respectful to Mama Earth. 
But we gotta be real.

Some bottles are not being rinsed and are left with gunk that's difficult to remove. Our bottles are washed and sanitized and repacked by hand and let's just say it's not our favourite job at the brewery (sorry to dash your dream job, Professional Bottle Washer hopefuls). 
​
We'd love for you to give a quick rinse to your bottle once you've finished that last sip of booch. 
To those who have been taking the time to rinse, we appreciate your efforts and say a little thank you under our breath each time.
