About us
Our Journey
Our journey began with a vision to give people back the control over their own health through fermented food. Our team has a passion for improving people's lives through innovation, with our professional work spanning pharmaceuticals and medical devices. We wanted to create a way for people to improve their health before they get sick. As we learned about the health benefits of fermented food, we realized one of the best ways we could accomplish this was by making fermented foods accessible to everyone.
Our company is dedicated to making fresh, fermented foods accessible to everyone. Home fermentation is often intimidating because of the steep learning curve, long waits to see results, and the constant work put into making sure conditions are perfect. Even after weeks of careful work, a ferment can still fail. Our products will make fermentation effortless, even for beginners.
