Cultured ferments is undertaking a project to expand market access for new organic packaged products originating from northern michigans organic producers

The core objective of this initiative is to establish aggregation and comanufacturing services initially serving multiple organic producers across the region with the potential for growth throughout the midwest. This project involves the installation of a canning line to produce organic kombucha in both canned and existing glass bottle formats alongside partnerships with local organic producers to provide comanufacturing services. The anticipated outcome is the creation of new channels for organic products to reach consumers and processors significantly increasing the availability of domestically produced organic commodities. The project will support farmers and ranchers in northern michigan who produce organic raw materials and processors seeking to expand their offerings. The expanded networks will provide these stakeholders with the means to develop and deliver organic packaged products increasing the volume of organic goods available to the market. The projects success will be measured by the increased capacity to produce and distribute organic products benefiting both producers and consumers seeking organic options. Cultured ferments existing USDA organic certification positions them as a critical facilitator in this endeavor solidifying their role as a key component in the expansion of the organic market within the region.
