About Savouré

Jess Messer is an activist, a mother of three, and the head of Savouré. She is driven by her dream of spreading the beauty of Vermont and Québec through food while strengthening local food economies by creating delicious, thoughtful, handcrafted bubbly drinks that are made from real food grown where she lives. She works with area farmers and foragers. The herbs, fruit, and vegetables in Savouré products are local and organic to the extent possible. The whole food is used, in its unprocessed form; no extracts or essential oils or preservatives. It makes the process more expensive but yields a super tasty soda that is fresh and unique.

Practices

Savouré's seltzers and sodas are made with with whole produce grown by their neighbor farmers, mostly from "farmer grade vegetables" that are too big, small, or ugly to sell, or parts of the vegetable usually composted (think carrot tops, fennel fronds, celery leaves) so this project carries on its initial mission as a way to reduce food waste.
