OUR STORY
HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
Prism Kombucha was founded in 2017 by Winnipeg local Daniel Pastuck with the objective of providing Winnipeggers with a healthy alternative to soda and alcoholic drinks. From 2017 to 2020, Prism grew its presence in Winnipeg by selling at local farmers markets, restaurants and small grocery stores.
NEW OWNERSHIP
In the summer of 2020, Prism Kombucha was purchased by Jardins St-Léon Gardens. With new ownership, Prism was able to invest in new equipment that would help it's production and distribution network.
STRAIGHT FROM AN URBAN FARM
Prism Kombucha is brewed at Fort Whyte Farms, an urban farm and social enterprise located at Fort Whyte Alive, on the outskirts of Winnipeg. We brew in a shared commercial kitchen and rent space to ferment and package our product. Fort Whyte Farms is partially powered by solar energy. Just outside our brewery, you'll find a thriving urban farm, a bison herd, a young but promising orchard and the most beautiful scenic trails in Winnipeg.
Our administrative office is located at 419 St Mary's rd in Winnipeg, right next to St-Léon Gardens. We currently don't have a on-site tap room or storefront but encourage you to purchase your Prism Kombucha off our website or at our many local retailers.
LAND AND WATER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Prism Kombucha is located on ancestral lands, Treaty 1 territory, traditional territory of the Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene Peoples, and on the homeland of the Métis Nation. The water we use to brew our kombucha is sourced from the City of Winnipeg and originates from Shoal Lake 40 First Nation. We acknowledge the lasting harm caused to Shoal Lake 40 First Nation by the construction of the aqueduct.
As a company, Prism Kombucha is committed to minimizing our environmental impact, ethically sourcing the healthiest plants and supporting local and Indigenous growers and foragers. We are also committed to positively using our influence to promote reconciliation with Indigenous People.
