Founded by Keenan Smith, a natural foods industry professional with almost two decades of experience, Goodwolf Feeding Company is a Portland-based producer of bottled water kefir. Water kefir is a traditional fermented drink made from water and a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeasts (SCOBY), which couples the probiotic nature of drinks like kombucha with the sensation of sparkling water. Currently, the company has distribution contracts with UNFI and KeHE, two of the largest distributors of natural food products in the U.S. Goodwolf’s products can be found in 138 locations across Oregon, Washington, Hawaii, South Carolina, Montana, Idaho, and Ohio. With the proceeds of the raise, Goodwolf hopes to increase marketing to drive brand awareness and trials, purchase improved bottling equipment, and support operations with general working capital.
