You can be sure that when you buy our ferments, what you are eating or drinking is part of an important food movement; a return to traditions - to living foods and small batch real food and drinks.
We are wild fermenters in a largely homogenised world. We don't water down, force carbonate or add starter cultures. Our choices have never been for convenience; we are slow fermenters and our most expensive ingredient is time.
Crunchy, sour, salty, sweet, and a little bit nutty; our vegetable ferments are good for you and for your gut! Wild, raw and fermented; we've been known to grab a jar, a fork and a quiet space to eat the whole thing at once.
Who doesn't love a drink that tastes glorious while also doing wonders for your gut health? Our drinks, like everything else, are made using traditional methods of raw and wild fermentation. Click below to learn a little more about them.
Magical SCOBYs... they can't be made by humans, they can't be recreated in an anonymous lab. They can only be passed on, from fermenter to fermenter. If treated well, they will keep producing delicious, gut-loving drinks forever.
Sharon's book, now in its third print (and already translated into Italian!), is an accessible and inspiring introduction to ferments throughout the world. Includes a wide-range of recipes, including The
Fermentary's classic krauts, kimchi, drinks and Japanese ferments.
We really (really) believe in sustainability and waste reduction at The Fermentary. One of our favourite ongoing discoveries is what to make with our spent produce (the stuff that doesn't end up in one of our usual jars). We used to keep these little mouthfuls of flavour-bombs just for ourselves, but they taste so good we've had to start sharing...
Join us, whether you're a rookie or an already obsessed fermenter. Learn, share, connect and keep the traditions alive that fight the homogenisation of our industrialised food system. Get some wild into your life, and then of course - inside your body (and your people).
