Grape Pear Water Kefir Soda

Fall is the best time of year, enveloping us in warm hues and cozy vibes. The abundance of seasonal fruits like pears and concord grapes enhances our diets. Enjoying pear grape water kefir soda not only refreshes but also offers probiotics, boosting gut health while celebrating the flavors of autumn. We pride ourselves in sharing what’s in season on the farm and this week we’re going for a mash-up. They’re spectacular together.
