About Fermented Felon:
Fermented Felon is a craft Kombucha company dedicated to good brews and good vibes! Founded in 2020 by Tony Horner, who started his business in the No More Empty Pots commercial kitchens. After facing incarceration, Kombucha provided Tony with a fresh start. More than a fizzy beverage, Tony says: βit was a lifeline, literally healing my liver and sparking a thirst for something more. I dove into science, mastered the brewing process, and found myself not just making kombucha, but crafting opportunities.β Today, Fermented Felon has expanded its operations and is available on the shelves of Hy-Vee grocers in the Omaha area. Tony continues to give back to the community, particularly by mentoring individuals with past incarcerations through the RISE business academy.
