The Lifeway Foods story began in 1986 with kefir, a dairy-based fermented drink loaded with protein, probiotics, and a deep connection to many cultures, especially those from the Caucasus region. That year, Michael Smolyansky, a refugee from the former USSR, began manufacturing kefir in his basement to bring the taste of his homeland to the U.S. After Michael passed away in 2002, his daughter Julie Smolyansky assumed the role of President and CEO. Today, Lifeway is the country’s leading manufacturer of kefir, with many flavors and varieties that include lowfat, whole milk and organic versions, as well as ProBugs kefir for kids and Farmer Cheese.
