Gnarbucha

What Gnarbucha does

Gnarbucha is a craft kombucha brewery headquartered in Atlantic Beach, Florida, founded and operated by Chris Prevatt (Owner/Brewer). The company brews handcrafted kombucha in small batches using a traditional double-fermentation process with a SCOBY (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast). The base is a proprietary blend of organic loose-leaf black and green teas combined with organic cane sugar; flavors are derived from organic and/or local fruits, juices, and herbs. The resulting beverage is positioned as raw, vegan, naturally low in sugar, lightly carbonated, and rich in probiotics, amino acids, and vitamins.

The company's product line consists of a single unified kombucha offering sold in two formats: ready-to-drink cups and refillable growlers. Gnarbucha distributes through two channels: direct-to-consumer sales at the Neptune Beach Farmer's Market (the original channel where the business started organically) and wholesale distribution to regional retail accounts across the Florida market. Its target customer segments are health-conscious consumers seeking natural, probiotic beverages and local wholesale buyers such as restaurants, cafes, and retail stores seeking differentiated craft offerings. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The firm is privately held, founder-owned, bootstrapped, and operates at a craft/small-batch scale with 11–50 employees; no institutional funding, patents, awards, or strategic partnerships are documented in the available data.
