About Lifeway Kefir
At Lifeway Foods, we are on a mission. A mission that started in 1986 when we first began producing Lifeway Kefir. Like all good missions, ours is simply expressed: We’re here to provide the best in probiotic and nutritious foods. We’re here to improve the health of our customers. And we’re here to leave the world a better place than we found it. On a lighter note, we’re also here to change the meaning of the word delicious, and to have a little fun along the way. You with us? Good. Very good.
