He woke up one morning with a vision of a sea of plastic bottles between here and Hawaii, and he thought to himself “I don’t want to look back in 15 years that a brand I created contributed to that sea mess”
Sean Lovett, car enthusiast-environmentalist-brew master and founder of Revive Brands, is the maker of a popular kombucha drink in Windsor. What does this have anything to do with Petaluma?

In a North Bay Business Journal article posted just yesterday by Jeff Quakenbush, Kombucha maker, bakery plan big Petaluma expansion, tells about the 90 jobs that will be bound for our city and expansion of the specialty-food industry.
This is SO exciting! I LOVE Revive Kombucha and buy it regularly from Whole Foods Petaluma. I buy it by the jug and just return them when I’m buying more. It’s a toss up between the original and red as to my favorite so I buy different ones.
A couple of CSA’s that I know sell Revive are http://www.TaraFirmaFarms.com and http://www.BackyardCSA.com. Hey…I wonder if Revive will sell from their plant or at the very least allow for tours of it. I’d sure love to see this operation as I’m fascinated with the process.
I’ve thought often about making my own, but I just don’t have the time so buying it by the gallon from Revive has been a great way to go.
It’s delicious, healthy, local (even more local soon 🙂 and sustainable. What more could a person ask for in a kombucha? 🙂
