It’s been a few weeks since we appeared on @saturday.kitchen and the response from you all has been unbelievable. It’s been a very exciting time for us at Ki kefir and our kefir grains have been working double time to make copious amounts of kefir for you all, so firstly big thanks for your orders, support, curiosity and kind words! Helping people to become healthier was my main reason for starting this business and so getting Ki Kefir into more fridges these last few weeks has been the most rewarding time in this journey so far for me. Even watching these clips back now and seeing us as part of the finals of the @bbcfoodprog Food & Farming awards along side the two most incredible brands @theglenturretwhisky @bullhousebrewco is such a pinch me moment!

Big thanks to @jaegawise for choosing us as part of this competition finals, and doing such a stellar job at putting real kefir out there! And big thanks to @bbcfoodprog and @saturday.kitchen for showcasing Ki Kefir and the guests @matt.tebbutt @chefrickstein @ollysmith @chinghehuang @the.richard.ayoade for your support!

Here’s a few snippets from the show. Keeping all crossed for the finals in December! What a month! Thank you all, big love

Here’s a little insight into how Ki Kefir is made. We started this journey in our home kitchen in London, and before long demand outgrew so in 2019, Ki Kefir set up stall in a small East Sussex fermentary.

At Ki, we do things the old-school way. We handcraft it in individual batches using living cultures to give the kefir the effervescent life it should have and the best medicinal qualities possible. No freeze-dried shortcuts—our kefir is alive and packed with between 20-50 strains of bacteria, unlike the 5-10 strains in most supermarket-bought versions. We using fresh milk from our local, family-run farm @hookandsonfarm , where cows graze on organic, regenerative pastures.

Building this business for me has always been about doing good things for people and planet. Starting a food start comes with its challenges, but knowing how our kefir makes a difference in the world is what keeps me going. We hope you enjoy it.

Great to fuel @natoora and @tim.spector event @tatecornerbar this month with Ki Kefir. Always a joy to chat to you all about kefir, and of course as a bonus we got to listen to @franconatoora & @tim.spector discuss biodiversity across people and planet! Something that is super important to us at Ki. by @ki.kefir

What a special evening✨

Last week we had the pleasure of cooking for Organised and Niall Kiddle’s pre-premiere screening of their raw milk documentary - bringing together farmers, food lovers, filmmakers and friends around a shared table.

There’s something deeply hopeful about spending an evening with people who care so much about where food comes from, how it’s produced, and the communities that make it possible.

We cooked over fire, using beautiful ingredients from some of our favourite local farms and producers. On the menu: Pork & Hop sausages, steak mince burgers, sweet soy glazed shiitake skewers, herb buttered new potatoes, raw slaw salad & Wild Alchemy seasonal Elderflower kombucha ✨

As always, the real magic wasn’t just the food, but the conversations that happened around it.

A huge thank you to everyone involved for inviting us into such a thoughtful and inspiring gathering. We’re feeling very grateful to do what we do. Special thanks to @samjmurphy @goldenhornfarm @ki.kefir

Here’s to good food, good farming, and the stories that bring people together 🌿🔥💚

Guess who came to see us this week! We were so happy to finally get @tim.spector over to our Kefir Fermentary in Sussex this week after being featured in his book last year. Tim got to meet our whole grain family and helped us make some batches of kefir! We had a great day and lots of laughs.

For those of you who haven’t read Tim’s newest book it’s one to grab! It’s great book explaining all about fermented foods. by @ki.kefir

Been wanting to use @ki.kefir for quite some time.

This ended up becoming our version of an apple pie:
kefir ice cream, roasted apples in cider, smoked apple caramel and meadowsweet arlette.

Super excited to be featured in this month’s @countryhomesmag . Check out the 4 page interview with Founder Sam, in the January edition, where she shares her journey and the challenges she’s faced along to way to remain the most authentic, nutritionally dense Kefir co on the market.

Big thanks to Holly for putting together such a beautiful article and @andrea_childs_journo for this incredible opportunity. And of course @sirle_oder_photography for capturing these gorgeous images. taken in Arlington, East Sussex by @ki.kefir

Happy new year everyone, we had a well deserved break over the festive period, but we are back in action today! We hope you too, had a restful break.

I wanted to say a BIG thanks to you all for supporting Ki Kefir last year, and the years prior. From day 1, running a kefir company was about what the product can do to help each one of you that drinks it. When I discovered it many years ago, I couldn’t believe all the wonderful qualities it had to offer, so brought Ki to market so you could all drink REAL kefir that I truly believed in. 2025 has been a really amazing year of growth for our small business, expanding to become a team, that makes it all a little more fun and exciting with other great creative minds, and agile hands helping. I’ve also jumped ship from having 2 jobs (which has been quite the juggling act for 5 years) to solely focussing on Ki. Over the last 6 years of Ki’s life, I have grafted and it really has been a labour of love, but I’m so proud and happy to see where we are today, and that’s all down to you guys for supporting and believing in us!

I wish you all a year of good health, connection, resilience & abundance in all areas of life. As people we have the power to help, support and care for others in different ways. Every word shared, penny spent, hand offered can go a long way to make the difference to someone’s life. I didn’t choose to just run any business, I wanted to do something I believed made a positive difference in, and hope that in some way this is felt in our product. In exchange every penny you spend at ki, does more than supports a company. You prioritise your health, invest in a great regenerative farm and support a team of amazing individuals. Thanks for being a part of our Ki Culture. taken in Arlington, East Sussex by @ki.kefir

Did you know at Ki we make kefir super fresh every week! It’s made to order just for you. The cows are milked every Sunday, this milk then goes into fermentation on Monday, the kefir is then bottled and on your doorstep by Thursday! You cant get more farm to table than that!
