Now a word from our founder.

Science is finding that a healthy gut biome is vital to a powerful immune system, a highly functional brain, and overall good health. Jump-start your road to recovery or maintain your vigor by incorporating cultured foods in your diet. Fermenting is wicked simple and lots of fun. In this workshop Janisse will make sauerkraut, kefir, and kombucha. She’ll also talk about many other homemade cultured foods you can incorporate into your homestead or home kitchen for the benefit of you and your family, including cream fraiche, vinegar, and much more.
