Absolutelylove this brand of kefir. I am currently expecting and it was recommended by my midwife to include kefir into my diet for the probiotic benefits. I tried other brands and did not like them very much. I have really enjoyed the Kalona Supernatural brand and have been using this brand for months now! I will continue to use this postpartum!
Whole Milk Kefir is the best product that I could find that is minimally processed and has clean farm to table traceability. The only store bought kefir that we purchase and has such amazing health benefits for the gut.
The best kefir in USA and on this side of the Atlantic. Last time I had this quality kefir was when I was living in Germany. This kefir is a real kefir like they used to make in Europe 50 years ago. Most kefirs they sell in USA are, in my opinion, not the same and you can taste the difference as well.
The only Kefir I purchase is from Kalona Supernatural. There is always some in my Fridge. I like the Plain primarily because it is free of sugar, but I will treat myself occasionally with the Vanilla Kefir. I have used Organic Vanilla flavored Stevia in the Plain Kefir and that works, too. I use Kalona for all my dairy that is not cheese. Maybe someday they will have a cheese product and then I will be totally Kalona!!!
Really great tasting kefir. Rich flavor that makes it great to drink straight up or in a smoothie. Love the diversity with 14 active cultures to enrich my microbiome and immune system. Organic, grass fed milk from small family farms makes this a complete homerun.
So good ! Nothing beats Kalona plain kefir. It has the perfect tang that pairs well in smoothies and so many other things. Since it is low temp pasteurized I know I am getting all the good nutrients and probiotics. I love to make kefir pops by blending strawberries and plain kefir with a bit of maple syrup and chia and hemp seeds ! So nutritious. Once you taste the difference between a REAL kefir you will never go back ! Kalona does not disappoint.
I always get Kalona milk because it tastes so fresh and creamy. Now I have tried the kefir and I like it a lot as well, better than the brands I had been using, which are fine but missing that freshness that Kalona has.
I LOVE this kefir! It has made such a difference for me. I drink it almost every day and no longer experience the bloating and constant discomfort of poor digestion and other symptoms caused by bad bacteria in my gut. I am so thankful for this high quality product!
I ship these live grains in milk in a small glass jar. Sometimes pressure can build up inside the jar, causing the milk to leak out a bit. This is why I also put the jar in a food-grade heat-sealed storage bag. If your grains/milk have leaked out of the jar and into the bag, and even if the bag seems to be filled up with air like a balloon, please note that this is perfectly normal. Your grains should still be just fine and ready to make delicious kefir for you.
I ship these grains from southern California via USPS Priority Mail. I only ship them on Mondays unless Monday is a holiday, in which case I'll ship them on Tuesday. It usually takes 2-3 days for these grains to reach anywhere in the country, but the post office doesn't guarantee this. Don't fret if your grains have been delayed. They should still be good to go when you receive them. They are very strong grains.
Due to the nature of these live cultures, we cannot accept any returns. All sales are final. If you find that you're having trouble making good kefir, please contact us right away. We'll do our best to help figure out what is going on. Sometimes people think their grains have gone bad and they toss them before contacting us. Please don't throw out your grains!
If you live in a hot area, we recommend that you don't order until temps are consistently in the 80s. However, if you can't wait, we have started experimenting with using insulated packaging and ice packs. Click here to learn more.
If you do decide to order, we'll email you a tracking number once your order has shipped. Please use the tracking information to anticipate the arrival of your starter culture so it can be brought in out of the heat right away.

Kefir is believed to have originated in the Caucasus Mountain region of Eastern Europe where the local people would ferment milk using grain-like colonies of both bacteria and yeast. These symbiotic colonies are known as "Kefir Grains.' The people in that region viewed kefir as a medicinal food and believed it could enhance well-being and longevity. Family Farmstead Dairy "slow-cultures" their kefir at low temperatures for longer periods of time to bring the flavor to life! They believe the pairing of real kefir grains with their milk containing only A2 proteins delivers one of the most powerful probiotic drinks on the shelf. Taste the difference!
Family Farmstead is just that -- a family-owned and operated farm specializing in regeneratively made dairy and produce. Their 185-acre operation in Central New York is home to the 45 grass-fed cows that produce their A2 milk.
Nutrient-Dense Kefir. 100% Grass-fed organic milk has the optimal 1:1 Omega 6 to 3 ratio (for reducing inflammation) and is high in CLAs (heart-healthy fatty acids) and phytonutrients (that help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress).
Easily-Digested Kefir. Probiotic fermentation makes kefir up to 99% lactose-free. Our 100% A2/A2 herd of cows assures that the milk is also A1-free (a protein that can be difficult for humans to digest). A2/A2 dairy allows more folks to enjoy the substantial health benefits of kefir for gut, brain, bones and immunity.

Kefir is the 'original' fermented soda. It's not kombucha.

Water kefir contains lactic acid and other healthy acids for digestive support.
