Our News

We are very happy to have been making traditional kefir for more than a year now at our small dairy in London. What an exciting journey it has been and we have plans to expand and introduce our kefir to more shops around the country. We've even exported and regularly get requests from people in the US who would like to have our kefir!

Going organic
We have been considering using organic milk for some time and are now producing kefir with organic milk since January 2010. We buy from a farm in Bedford - it does make a difference to have milk from one source - we noticed the changes immediately. And of course there are benefits in terms of knowing that the soil is not fertilized with artificial chemicals where the grass grows and that the local wildlife also benefit which helps preserve the delicate eco system.


Nourish Kefir is now made in the UK at our small dedicated London dairy
Our small dairy is located close to St Pancras, Camden, and are very pleased to be making traditional kefir in the UK, using British milk. It is a very exciting time, demanding as well as rewarding. We launched 2 flavours to give our customers more choice and they are taking off well. There's strawberry kefir and blueberry & pomegranate kefir, both are delicious, made using fruit purees and agave nectar to sweeten.
We also introduced a smaller 250ml bottle of our Nourish Kefir original, which suits some people better - this is the sugar free original, traditional kefir drink. In 2010 we hope to relocate from St Pancras down to Redhill in Surrey.

Our eco credentials
In so far as we intend to minimise our carbon foot print we are making small positive steps towards establishing a range of green credentials.
We use plastic bottles that can be recycled, we always send any waste bottles to a local recycling facility. Any cardboard packaging is reused by our wholesaler colleagues or sent off for recycling. We have an innovative cooling system to avoid using tons and tons of water!
We always try to minimise food waste. If we have any stock over we offer it to two charities - The Family International and The Hare Krishna who do excellent work caring for homeless and disadvantaged people.
We use locally sourced British milk with an effort to keep our food miles low. We also support fair prices for farmers and pay a decent price for our milk. Our fruit purees are seasonal and come from different parts of Europe.

Heart felt thanks
Since our kefir journey began there have been lots of challenges and hurdles to overcome. Our biggest hurdle was finding a premises and thanks to Patrick Tobin of Marigold Health Foods this has been possible. We are grateful to have had so much assistance from Marigold, and many other people including family and friends and bank manager! and our thanks go out to them for their invaluable continued support!
