Founder and Owner
Artisanal Sauerkrauts
Tangy, crunchy, savory artisanal kraut at its finest! Nothing but cabbage and Himalayan pink salt, fermented to perfection.
This kraut basically tastes like your favorite savory pickle! In addition to that incredible flavor, our Garlic Dill kraut has all the benefits of garlic, dill and cucumber.
In our Garden Blend, the cabbage is combined with fresh carrots, onions, and kale, creating a savory flavor profile. This mixture of fresh veggies also adds a host of essential nutrients, antioxidants and provitamins.
Great smoky flavor with a little heat. We smoke the jalapenos over hickory chips before adding them to the cabbage. Then, we simply allow the mixture to ferment until it’s suitably sublime.
Kimchis
This recipe is inspired by traditional Korean kimchi. Our variety leans on the bold zest of fresh ginger and a complement of carrots, onions and garlic, all of it rounded out by some red pepper heat. We call our homage to the original, Carolina Kimchi.
Available in hot and mild varieties.

Kombucha
The benefits of ginger in a refreshing cold beverage. This raw kombucha is non-alcoholic, naturally sweetened, lightly carbonated, & literally alive. You’ll make your microbiome happy when you sit back and relax with a glass of this tasty brew.
Health Tonics
Beet kvass is a fermented traditional health tonic originally from Eastern Europe and Russia. It is rich in probiotics, digestive enzymes, electrolytes, and many additional nutrients. It is generally used daily in small amounts (a one oz shot, once or twice a day).
We add ginger and turmeric to round out the bouquet of superfoods in this beet tonic. These roots and vegetables have a reputation for nutritional excellence. Have a shot every day to keep your body beaming. (1 shot = 1 oz.)
Fermented Pickles
You’re in for a treat if you’ve never tried an authentic, traditionally fermented pickle! No vinegar. The anaerobic fermentation creates a nutritious, probiotic pickle that is excellent for snacking.
