Meet our founder, Jesse
In 2014 our founder Jesse was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, an autoimmune gut disease caused by chronic inflammation. When his traditional doctor said there was no cure, and that he’d need to take harsh prescription medications for the rest of his life to manage his symptoms, Jesse decided to explore alternative healing practices.
FOOD tHAT WORKS HARDER
The goal was never to “fix” anything. Jesse started paying closer attention to what made him feel strong, focused, and energized after healing a “chronic” autoimmune condition with real food. That meant choosing real, high-protein foods made with simple ingredients and no-shortcuts.
Over time, that shift changed everything.
He saw how much better he felt when he fueled his body with quality protein, cultured dairy, and thoughtfully made food. At the same time, Jesse also learned how most dairy is produced and why it often falls short for animals, the environment, and consumers. He knew there was a better way.
So he built it.
Enter Good Culture.
What started as a personal standard became a category reset. A cottage cheese that was cleaner, creamier, and so good it took off online, earned real fans, and helped redefine what people expect from a dairy company.
This brand was created to raise the bar: for protein, for sourcing, and for how food fits into real life. We make food that supports everyday strength, energy, and balance, without asking you to overhaul your entire routine.
No extremes. No gimmicks. Just real food, done right.
Through Good Culture’s founding, Jesse learned that most U.S. dairy cows are confined, creating an animal welfare and environmental problem. He knew there had to be a better way, and vowed to be part of the solution to create a regenerative and pasture-raised milk supply. Good Culture’s mission is to reinvent the food system from the (actual) ground up, to create a healthier planet, people and animals, and we’re well on our way!
