Harvest Roots Ferments

With hearts full of gratitude, we want to share that we have decided to close Harvest Roots Kombucha. We will have regular service and hours Thursday 2/29 through Sunday 2/3.

This was a difficult decision to make, but we know it is the right one. Our aspirations and dreams of what Harvest Roots would become have come true - a space that so clearly went beyond just serving a tart, bubbly soda. It was a gathering ground for brilliant discussions, emotions shared on bad days and great days, sober friendships, artisan beverage nerds, activism, local art and music, and dance parties.
•
Our last day is this Sunday, March 3rd. Don’t be a stranger, come celebrate, come be sad, come and buy one growler or twenty, come and just say hello to us and sit there. Everything is 50% off and we’re also selling fixtures and plants.

Our name Harvest Roots, is a homage to never forgetting where we came from and the ecosystem that has supported us. This modest but effervescent fermentation company would never have been possible without every team member that stepped foot in HR over the last 10 years. This dream would not have sustained itself without the incredible support of our customers and vendors.
•
As customers who spent their hard earned money here, you deserve some context. Though we are making this decision ourselves, there were circumstances that made running this business really challenging - opening during a pandemic, issues with contracts, other infrastructural challenges like our walk-in failure, and beyond. In no way are we interested in excuses, as this was all our responsibility, but they are big pressures on already small margins within a challenging small business ecosystem across our whole country.
•
Endings are also just new beginnings, and our relationship with community, be it microbes or humans, will only evolve. We look forward to remaining connected to the vibrant food and beverage ecosystem of Alabama and the Southeast.

If you’re interested in expanding fermentation practices in your restaurant or behind your bar, we’re always an open door. DM us to email.

It was spring yesterday, but today has brought winter vibes. Come enjoy a nice pot of tea. This is one of our favorites rituals to start the week: a pot of tea, a journal and some good intentions for the week ahead.

AQUA.
