An introduction

Co-creators, Alex and Jenny, started fermenting their food together over a decade ago. What started as a curiosity slowly evolved into a fascination, creating complex flavors and making connections between gut health and the soil our food grows in.

Lacto-fermentation

Considered one of the oldest methods of food preservation, lacto-fermentation utilizes lactic acid bacteria (present on the skins of all fruits and vegetables) that converts sugars into lactic acid.

The result of the fermentation process creates an acidic environment and prevents any growth of harmful bacteria, making it one of the safest methods of food preservation.
