GT’s Living Foods

Family-Owned & Operated Since 1995

Our passion, purpose, and impact.

GT Dave, Founder and CEO, got his start in 1995 after his family received the gift of a Himalayan Mother SCOBY. At only 15 years old, GT witnessed kombucha’s ancient healing properties first-hand and was inspired to share its benefits in its purest, most potent form. Now, almost 30 years later,  GT continues to transform the health and happiness of millions through his original raw kombucha and a diverse collection of other delicious and beneficial living foods.

30 Years of Living Foods

A Mission of Purpose

The story of GT’s does not begin with a business plan; it starts with a young man on a mission. Witnessing its incredible effects firsthand, a teenage GT Dave realized his purpose to share the gift of Kombucha in its purest, most potent form to help people everywhere live healthier, happier lives.
