Boochy Mama’s Kombucha
Rainbow Trout
When Toledo native Stacy Jurich started Boochy Mama’s Kombucha in January 2015, her mission was to brew well-balanced, nature-inspired tonics that could make her community a healthier, happier place. Years before, while residing in a remote, sustainable eco-village in Hawaii, she’d learned how to authentically brew kombucha. Intrigued by its magical fermentation process and transformative health benefits, Stacy continued brewing back in Toledo. Before long, she was delivering kombucha by bicycle to friends old and new, and her grassroots business was organically underway.
Brown Lee Press
Rainbow Trout
Brownlee was the last name of my maternal Grandmother, Barbara. Grandma Barb was an artist who made her mark in hand-lettered sign painting. I remember being a kid, watching her paint big ‘happy birthday’ banners, and grocery store ‘sale’ signs. This was in the 80s, things were different! She didn’t have Photoshop, or a computer, or a printer. She had a shoestring budget, a steady hand, and an eye for detail – and that was exactly what you needed to be successful in the business at the time.
Barbara Jean Brownlee passed away on May 3, 2005.
My grandma knew I was artsy – she kept me stocked with drawing supplies, challenged me and taught me about style, design, and layout, and always encouraged me to do whatever made me happy. Well Grandma, this is it – I’m doing it.

The name ‘Grocer’s Daughter Chocolate’ harkens back to Mimi’s youth, when her family owned the small grocery store in the rural village where she grew up.
