Port Stanley Villager June 2024

Handcrafted Kombucha in Port Stanley: From the Land by Peri Hayes Shannon Wyton discusses last month’s opening in Port Stanley of From the Land. Shannon proudly launched Booch Organic Kombucha nine years ago, presently operating their ongoing northeast London location where they produce kombucha and facilitate their Jungle Tap Room. Additionally, Booch Organic Kombucha’s products are sold at the Railway City Health Hut in the St. Thomas Elgin Centre. Being close to home, the lakeside village venue is special for Shannon, who explains, “I love the pace of life in Port Stanley and the ability to connect. It feels so good to be in this space. This is a unique location to bring gut health to the community while celebrating local artisans.” Shannon creates enchanting beauty in this woodland-themed atmosphere, with artwork to

explore on each wall - including handwritten notes from her loved ones. While Booch Organic Kombucha’s latest location serves refreshing kombucha on tap, customers are welcome to purchase it by can, cup, or litre. Shannon is excited to experience the foot traffic on the harbour alongside Laura, who presents a display of her exquisite jewelry. As well, Turtle Bird’s incredible mushroom mugs are available in-store. Pursue their reading material, essential oils, elixirs, fermented food, fire ciders, herbal teas and flower essences, tinctures, soaps, scrumptious sourdough, Shannon’s favourite Oracle deck of cards, and more. The creator of From the Land feels inspired to cultivate an empowering community where there is an opportunity to experience the natural world through products from Mother Earth. What most excites Shannon? “Finding a connection point with any person who’s coming in and witnessing them feeling joy; igniting this innate connection with health and nature,” Shannon reveals that she is in the beginning stages of envisioning what workshops -- for fire cider, jewelry and beyond, or even wreath making in the winter season -- can look like in this new space. From the Land is located at 208 Main Street, operating six days a week and closed on Tuesdays.

Moreover, contact Shannon at shannon@boochorganickombucha.com with inquiries about this healing business, which feels like a hug from the moment you walk through the door.
