OUR STORY

---

Real Raw Organics is a local, all-natural health food company. We specialize in raw, living kombucha, in a variety of flavors. 

We started the company to bring fresh kombucha to our community and we have evolved into Ocean City's leading choice for organic food options at our cafe. At Real Raw Organics we have successfully created a small batch kombucha with 3 billion probiotics, this is three times more than leading brands. Our promise to you is that we will continue to expand our flavor options without sacrificing quality of product. We will continue to increase our distribution area in hopes to share positive gut health with more patrons along the east coast.  

It all began in 2009 when I went away to school in Jacksonville, Florida. Healthy living is promoted positively in this area and every store has organic, gluten free, no GMO options. This is where I was first introduced to kombucha and found out how great it made me feel. After years of reaping its amazing benefits in a town where it was on tap in grocery stores and carried by the bottle at gas stations. I chose to  move back home because of some serious health issues. I was recommended a plant based diet for my recovery but unfortunately Ocean City had very little food options at this time for vegans so i began learning to cook for myself using different cooking techniques. As many of our locals know, there aren’t many natural grocery stores in the area so my search for fresh kombucha was pointless. I didn’t realize how much I missed it in my daily life until the winter of 2013 when I moved to Maui for a few months. The island is very forward thinking when it comes to healthy living options and I got to drink fresh, local kombucha all the time and continued cooking predominantly plant based.

When I decided to move back to Maryland, I didn’t want to lose it again so I figured with some practice I could make the kombucha myself. With the help of some friends who had made it before, I began experimenting with different teas and flavors. Blueberry Ginger was our first flavor that I truly loved and wanted to share with my friends and loved ones. I brought some to give to my yoga teacher as a gift and she ended up giving it out through her classes that day. There was an immediate demand and she insisted I bottle some up to sell. After that, the word was out; I was contacted by some of my current retailers demanding our kombucha. Some amazing local businesses have helped to get us where we are today by sharing their knowledge, experiences and their kitchens. We are so blessed to live in a town where everyone has pushed and supported the business to grow. In 2024 we celebrated ten years of the cafe being open and flourishing. Today we are working on expanding our territory and are so grateful to say we opened our kombucha brewery and cafe here in Ocean City.

Our town's clean eating, locally grown, all natural mindset is finally developing. We just hope to continue to play a major role in that growth. We will always use only all organic, all natural ingredients and we will continue to source locally as much as possible and we promise to always be researching to make the best informed food choices for your family as well as ours. 

Thank you for supporting our business all these years. We love you.
