Help The Kefir Co Partner With Local Producers To Develop Preservative-Free Food And Beverages, Using Fermented Goodness!
Project 2021-07-02 10:50:47 +1200
At The Kefir Co, we've been making good kefir for 10 years, crafted from the highest quality coconut water, loaded with live culture and probiotic goodness.
We've perfected the ancient art of fermentation and now, we're embarking on a new initiative to shake up the food industry. And there's something epic in it for you!
We will gift you back your pledge, in Kefir Co vouchers, so you can enjoy these innovative and delicious new food and beverages we create, just in time for Christmas. You'll be the first to enjoy them before they hit the retail shelves!
Our innovative all-natural preservative!
Our fermented coconut water beverages are sold throughout Aotearoa with a loyal following of kefir lovers, and we want to take it to another level; creating a range of delicious food products using kefir fermentation instead of nasty preservatives. Food production across the world relies on preservatives to keep food fresh, and we all know they aren’t good for you, or your guts.
Our unique 'kefir ferment' initiative is an incredible solution to this, that has huge potential globally. This ancient concept has tons of research behind it, but in the fast food and mass production era of food production, it's been lost. We're bringing it mainstream with our new range we want to develop further!
Our vision is clear;
We want to work with local growers and producers across Aotearoa to build this new range of kiwi foods, drinks, and condiments that are preservative free using our kefir ferment - we've already created a few kiwi staples that you will want for your summer BBQ's and they taste amazing. We’ve got the knowledge and guts to get there and some incredible products ready for sale. But we really need your support. 
We need your pledge!
As a small NZ company, we don’t have quite enough funds to get this off the ground, and we’re hoping you can help. We need to fund our team leaders to meet with regional growers and producers, and invest in Research and Development to create exciting new fermented edibles that we can bring to you through supermarkets and organic stores!
We reckon PledgeMe is an amazing community focussed initiative, full of supporters like us, who enjoy supporting Kiwis doing cool stuff.
But we want to do this PledgeMe campaign a little differently. We're giving away our new products! 
With lockdown lingering in New Zealand, we want to share the love. When you pledge over $35, we’ll send you Kefir drinks or our new fermented food and beverage products to enjoy!
Will you pledge to support us, to help us collaborate with local NZ businesses in producing delicious food and drinks that are preservative-free?
The benefits of Kefir and fermented foods are ridiculously good:
+ boosts inner gut health and digestion,
+ enhances energy levels
+ boost the immune system
+ promotes weight loss
+ improves mental health
+ sugar-free, dairy-free, no nasties, nothing fake
+ it tastes REALLY, really good!
So, what’s all the fizz about Kefir and gut health?
Kefir has been around for centuries, enjoyed as a fermented drink that is proven to offer incredible benefits like immunity boosting, improved mental health, and digestive health benefits. Gut health awareness has exploded and it’s not slowing down as more people become aware of the goodness of kefir. Both historical and current research gives clear evidence that high-quality nutrient-dense, good bacteria-feeding food, and drink is an essential element to a health-focused future. In fact, gut health is the epicenter of humans’ overall operating system, it’s often referred to as our second brain and it needs the right nutrition to function optimally.
Scientific research shows that there is a strong connection between the brain-gut axis; with good gut health balancing hormones, inducing deep restful sleep, sharpening our cognitive function, increasing our overall immune system, and improving mental health problems*.
And that’s where kefir steps in. It’s a fermented drink often made from milk (Ours is dairy-free and made from coconut water) that contains trillions of good live bacteria. It helps the normal functioning of the nervous system, and contributes to normal neurotransmission, boosts digestion and immune system support. Using our fermented recipe, we’ve figured out it can also be used as a natural preservative!
We are positively fizzing about the prospects that this PledgeMe campaign can bring, with the collective support of our community.
Pledge now and you will be helping us expand our range, and you'll enjoy the daily goodness of the tasty food and kefir drinks that we have been creating, delivered to your door! We'll let you know when our new products are ready for you to use your vouchers and enjoy our new range.
And from the team at The Kefir Co, thank you! We appreciate your support!
