About us

We believe that if you eat good things, and surround yourself with good, you’ll feel good. Simple as that. That’s why we decided to create a food company that offers real food and simple ingredients from trusted sources, promotes good health, and tastes delicious. At Good Culture, our mission is to make real healing foods available to people without hurting the planet or our animals. We are dedicated to creating the most delicious cultured dairy products made only with the highest quality ingredients you can pronounce. Our cultured dairy products are full of clean protein, live and active cultures, and have none of the bad stuff like preservatives, added hormones or gums. The “good” in Good Culture doesn’t just refer to our products. Good Culture has partnered with 1% for the Planet to support and protect our environment. Each time a consumer purchases a cup of Good Culture, 1 percent of the sale goes to a global network of nonprofit organizations dedicated to protecting the earth. In 2018, through 1% for the Planet, we proudly partnered with Kiss the Ground, whose efforts provide regenerative agriculture resources and training to farmers in hopes of reversing climate change. It’s our way of helping the earth heal itself.

    Cottage cheese is experiencing rocket ship growth. This recent CNN article by Danielle Wiener-Bronner spotlighted something we’ve been feeling for a while: this isn’t just a fad, it’s a shift. People are rethinking what “better-for-you” looks like – and realizing it can taste pretty good, too (or even obsessively good!). TikTok may have accelerated the hype, but we’ve been reinventing this category and delighting our consumers for nearly a decade, focusing on clean ingredients, real function, and food that actually fuels you. That fire’s been burning – social media just added the gasoline. At Good Culture, we’ve always believed in real food with real function. Watching this community remix, reimagine, and reclaim cottage cheese has been wild in the best way – and we can’t wait to see more #GoodCulture #RealFoodRevolution #HighProtein #EatWell #FunctionalFoods Read Article Here 👉 https://lnkd.in/gKw5_buz

  • The obsession is real! For years our inbox has been overflowing from fans with one passionate request, (aside from “please make MORE cottage cheese”) and that’s “Give us merch so we can wear our obsession on our sleeves!!” So we listened and turned their love into the very first Good Culture merch line available to the masses. Every piece nods to the fandom that built this brand. If you’ve ever stacked multiple tubs of our cottage cheese in your grocery cart, this collection was made for you. Dive in, grab your favorites, and tag us in your #GCOOTD (Good Culture Outfit of the Day). The movement our fans started just became something you can wear.

    Still riding the high from this weekend’s Culture Counter pop-up event in NYC. What a moment. What a team. What a community. We set out to create an IRL experience that was a love letter to our fans and fanatics everywhere. Their creativity, inspiration and complete OBSESSION with good culture is what gives our team energy every single day. Building a beloved brand is the best way to create GOOD in the world; we are here to fuel a healthier life through food, people, the planet, and everything in between. Every single person who showed up made the experience electric. The day was packed with the three C’s: connection, creativity and (of course!) cottage cheese. It was proof that when you bring together creators, culture-makers, mission-driven brands, and community, it’s more than just good memories – it's movement-building. Major love to the dream team and our incredible partners who made it happen:  Ryan Fallgren, Dakota Osmun, Carmen Kiew, Joyce Lin, Assembly Collective, plata, Power Digital Marketing, Within the Influence Media, &Walsh, OUTFRONT Media Onward, upward, and let's keep up this momentum 💪
