What The County Bounty Artisanal Soda Co. does
The County Bounty Artisanal Soda Co. is a privately-held, woman-owned craft beverage producer headquartered in Napanee, Ontario, Canada. Founded in 2016 by Dodie Ellenbogen as a market garden organic vegetable farm in Prince Edward County, the company pivoted in 2018 to artisanal soda production after experimenting with cordials to preserve surplus strawberries. The business is operated by a team of four employees, all paid at least a living wage per the Living Wage Network, with benefits for full-time staff. Production is based at 216 Belleville Road, Napanee, where the company opened its first owned retail storefront in February 2025.
The product portfolio centers on 11+ artisanal sodas built from Ontario-grown fruits and herbs (including Raspberry Lime, Strawberry Basil, Sour Cherry and Mint, Wild Grape and Ginger, Apple Lemon Fennel, Cherry Vanilla, Lavender Lemon-Basil, Rose-Hibiscus Hops, Foraged Botanicals Tonic, Rhubarb Citrus Peel, and Blackcurrant Lemonade), supplemented by sub-brands Full Moon Waters (zero-calorie sparkling waters) and Iced Teas (Watermelon, Strawberry Rhubarb, Peach). Products contain up to 50% less sugar than leading brands, are sweetened with cane sugar, and are gluten-free and vegan. The underlying production process is traditional artisanal with natural carbonation; the company has no disclosed software platform, API, AI/ML components, or automation. A secondary offering is custom soda co-packing for other brands and farmers, with a 430-litre (~50 cases of 24 cans) minimum order, supported by label-design assistance.
Revenue is generated through three streams. (1) Direct-to-consumer: a Squarespace e-commerce shop, the Napanee retail store, branded merchandise (glassware, stickers, gift certificates in CA$25-CA$100 denominations), and an annual Soda of the Month Club subscription priced CA$144-CA$286/year, shipped three times annually (April, August, December) with Ontario-only shipping. (2) Wholesale: seven regional distributors (ASP, Creel and Gambrel, Findlay Foods, 100 km Foods, Sheldon Creek, NevRask, plus GFS drop-ship) placing product in grocery chains Farm Boy, Metro, Sobeys, and Foodland, plus a long tail of independent retailers, restaurants, and cafes (e.g., Acoustic Grill, Pizzeria Libretto). (3) B2B co-packing at multi-year contract terms. Pack pricing ranges from CA$12 (4-pack) to CA$65 (24-pack), with mix-and-match and variety configurations. Geographic reach is concentrated in Ontario with limited Quebec availability (Hull, Wakefield).

The County Bounty Artisanal Soda Co. competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Olipop: US better-for-you prebiotic soda brand explicitly positioning on lower sugar and real ingredients - directly aligned with County Bounty's 50%-less-sugar, natural-ingredient stance and sold through both DTC and major US retail.
- Reed's Inc. (Virgil's): Craft/premium natural-ingredient soda brand with multi-flavor lineup and adjacent co-packing exposure - direct competitor in the artisanal craft soda space County Bounty occupies.
- Tractor Beverage Co. Craft natural-ingredient soda brand with foodservice channel emphasis - shares County Bounty's natural-ingredient positioning and the importance of bars, restaurants, and on-premise accounts as a growth channel.
- Poppi: US prebiotic soda brand with category-leading DTC traction and broad retail expansion - mirrors County Bounty's lower-sugar natural craft soda positioning and is one of the strongest validators of the category tailwind.
- Jones Soda Co. US craft soda brand with a multi-flavor lineup and strong brand storytelling, sold through regional and national retail in North America - the closest business-model analog to County Bounty's craft soda portfolio and small-team growth profile.
- Spindrift: Real-ingredient sparkling water and soda brand made from actual fruit - directly overlaps with County Bounty's Full Moon Waters zero-calorie sparkling water sub-brand and shares the 'real fruit, no artificial anything' positioning.
Broad incumbents
- Fever-Tree: Premium mixer brand purpose-built for craft cocktails - addresses the same cocktail occasion (gin, tequila, rum mixers) that County Bounty targets with its tonic and aromatic sodas, but at materially larger scale and global distribution.
- PepsiCo: Largest mainstream beverage corporation with a portfolio spanning carbonated soft drinks, sparkling waters, and better-for-you brands (e.g., bubly) - structural incumbent whose Ontario and Canada retail moves shape the competitive landscape County Bounty operates in.
- Canada Dry (Keurig Dr Pepper Canada): Mainstream Canadian soft drink manufacturer under Keurig Dr Pepper - directly competes for Ontario retail shelf space at much larger scale and illustrates the broad-incumbent threat to a small craft player.
Emerging players
- DRINKmaple: Natural maple-based sparkling water and soda brand focused on real-ingredient refreshment - emerging better-for-you beverage with overlapping positioning on transparency and natural sourcing.
