What Is Kombucha?

Kombucha is a lightly sweetened and effervescent fermented tea that has been used for centuries as an aid to digestion and well-being. The origins of Kombucha are a bit vague, but it likely originated in ancient China around 220BC and extended to Russia, Eastern Europe, and Japan. As legend tells it, Kombu (or Kambu) was a Korean physician who treated the Japanese emperor with the special tea and it took his name, “Kombu” and added “cha”, meaning tea.  Kombucha has been called the “Immortal Health Elixir” or “Tea of Immortality.”

Why Laughing Gut?

We’ve worked hard to craft a unique beverage. Our signature recipe uses exceptional teas, natural essences, and herbs and spices such as lavender, star anise, orange zest and mint. When the pure flavor of Kombucha is allowed to shine without adding sweetened fruit juices, the result is a tart, flavorful, and refreshing Kombucha that will have your gut laughing with each tasty sip.

With passion and love, we milk our goats daily.  We spend hours in the dairy kitchen making fresh, delicious cheese.  I say “we” because it takes a small village to do what “we” do every day.

I was born here locally with a love for animals, dogs, horses and now goats.  After graduating from Mt. Saint Mary College with a degree in business, I found employment in NYC at the executive offices of Godiva Chocolatier.  That was a very tasty job, to say the least!

I progressed onto a real estate and banking firm ADCO until a real estate crisis caused layoffs.  In 1990 I started a dog walking business for the rich and famous.  Married in 1998, moved to a beautiful home in Goshen.  Started with two goats as pets and I was addicted.  As the number of my pet goats grew, people would ask what are you going to do with them?  I replied, “I’m going to create a business.”

Through divorce, relocation to another farm, my sacrifice and determination have brought me to where I am today.
