It's an honour to be able to share the things that capture magic and bring wonder into our every day.  When you are feeding life, nurturing life in a jar - there can be a quiet ritual that I find quite soothing - a plan for the future - something quietly growing and transforming amongst the busy. 

This business was started by me trying to teach, not make - but oh! people kept saying they just wanted to be able to buy it. Please try to make. I love to make it for you but! there is nothing like doing to appreciate a thing for what it is. 

In Pickwick House, opened in early 2022, we now have a home to do this host a range of events and workshops, as well as sell the best products from my favourite fermenters.  Please come in!  Have a browse or a seat, enjoy a workshop, flip through a book, have a taste of something new.

We also run private group workshops and demonstrations for a variety of events and groups of people.  Sharon is an engaging speaker and teacher, doing talks/demos, contributing to menus, and teaching workshops at large and small events around Australia. The range of settings and occasions that fermentation can bring insight and depth to is nearly endless - Sharon has run workshops for 50th birthday celebrations, corporate team building days, chefs/hospo people wanting to ferment their own food and drink, and more. If you are interested in organising something together, contact hello@thefermentary.com.au and we'll be in touch!
