Our belief

Change starts within. To move forward, you have to return: to your roots, to nature.

We are Goodie, a living, unpasteurised gut drink fermented slowly in Vilnius. We started from a simple conviction: most of what you look for on the outside already lives deep inside you. Look after that inner world, and a lot follows.

How Goodie began

Born from a need to find order in chaos.

In 2021, two friends in Vilnius kept circling the same frustration. Modern life is loud, fast and processed, and the gut quietly pays for it. The living, fermented foods their grandparents took for granted had been pasteurised, shelf-stabilised and stripped of the very thing that made them worth eating. So they set out to make the drink they could not find anywhere else: genuinely alive, properly diverse, and never rushed.

From a thought experiment to an international hit, the rule never changed: do the fermentation properly, or do not ship it.

The founders

Two idealists, one stubborn standard.

We are not a lab-coat brand and we are not trying to sound like one. We are two people who became slightly obsessed with one question: how do you get living cultures to your door still alive? Everything Goodie does, the two-week ferment, the cold chain, the testing, comes back to answering that honestly. Thank you for trusting us with your inner world.

We would rather tell you the temperature we ferment at than tell you it will change your life.

How we make it

Made slowly, never rushed, never pasteurised.

Most "live" drinks are heated at the end, which is convenient for shelf life and fatal for the cultures. We refuse that step. Here is the whole process, with nothing skipped.

Build the recipe

Whole Baltic berries, six ancient grains and spring water go in to feed the cultures, not to sweeten the drink.

Ferment for two weeks

Held at 36 to 37°C and never allowed above 40°C, so the cultures stay alive and metabolically intact.

Keep it cold, never heat it

No pasteurisation, no heat-kill step. The drink is bottled cold so the cultures survive.

Test every batch

Microbiological and chemical checks on each batch, with metagenomic sequencing via Eurofins, in a BRCGS AA+ facility.

Cold-chain to your door

Shipped cold from our facility in Lithuania across the UK and EU. Sealed bottles are shelf-stable, refrigerate after opening.

What we stand for

Three rules we do not bend.

Innovation

We develop with science, not slogans. Every formula is tested, measured and made to do a clear job.

Community

We would rather connect a small group of conscious people than chase mass consumption.

Transparency

We are open about what goes in, how it is made and what we have tested, including the things most brands hide.

Where it comes from

Rooted in the Baltics.

Goodie tastes of where it is made. Whole Baltic berries, blackcurrant, sea buckthorn and chokeberry, go in whole, never as concentrate. Six ancient grains and clean spring water round out the base. It is fermented in Lithuania and shipped cold from our own facility. This is a drink with a postcode, and we think you can taste it.

"The only live drink I have found that actually tastes like it is alive. It became part of my morning without me trying."

"You can tell these people care about how it is made. The subscription is genuinely easy to pause, which is rare."

"Tart, honest and clearly not from a powder. The story behind it is why I stayed, the taste is why I reorder."
