Hand Crafted Home Brewed Kombucha Tea in Amherst, VA

Interview that was in the Amherst Era and News and Advance.

I used to sell my home brewed Kombucha Tea at the Natural Health Center in Madison Heights and was starting to sell it to another place at the Community Market Downtown. Someone called the Local Newspaper and told them they should interview me, and so they contacted me and we had an interview which landed in the Local Newspaper. So it was my "Claim to fame", which ended with a twist. That is another story. I don't make it like I used to, but let's say that our church family enjoys the labors of love of this delicious, probiotic, wild and wonderful beverage. As one person put it, as he saw it we were the "church of the massage". Well, you could also say the "church of Kombucha Drinkers" as well.
Cheers!
