Sharing my excitement for fermentation and my quest for people to eat local/reduce food waste is the passion of my life. I worked in the corporate world for a time, but knew there was always something else calling me. I went back to school to study nutrition and start my own farm. Learning how to preserve food in a way that’s not only easy, but also so important for our health, gave me the faith to make the leap.
Being able to share the knowledge and skills of the past, combined with some of the health discoveries we are making in terms of gut health/ fermented foods, sets my soul on fire. Come and catch fire with me.
