hey future fermenter
Along with my partner Jon we’ve been commercially operating a fermented foods company for five years. We ferment vegetables in American white oak barrels and supply prestigious stores, like Whole Foods Market.
Natural fermentation precedes human history. Since ancient times, humans have exploited the fermentation process. It’s only reasonable that in our modern times, we respect the microbes, and choose to understand them in order to harness fermentation in the healthiest way possible. That’s why I created The Cultured Guru School of Fermentation!
