LOTS OF FERMENTED GOODNESS ON SALE !!!

Help us make way for this season's local agricultural bounty buy taking some of these ON SALE flavors off of our hands! We were dropped by Food Lion after ramping it up BIG TIME to meet their large orders (and then, afterwards, they asked us to come back to which we said "NO"). Thus, we ended up with a few flavors that are past the Best Buy date. Fermented foods can last for a year or more, so these are still good for months longer than the Best Buy date on the jar. So now YOU get to SAVE so we can clear our stock and make room for our upcoming Spring and Summer Flavors.

Now On Sale: Bok 'n Broc Kraut, Ginger Carrot Pickles, Green Tomato Chutney, Garlicky Sour Pickles, Pickled Corn Salad, Classic Kraut and Spicy Napa Kraut. We also have some Kraut Juices on sale as well. Stock up now and enjoy the benefits to your health and your budget, to boot! XOXO

SUMMER SALE!

We're having a SALE on two of our most popular flavors so that we can make way for some of our upcoming Fall flavors. Take advantage of savings on both the Bok & Broc Kraut and the Ginger Carrot Pickles, which are both temporarily marked down to $5 per jar. Both of these are perfect additions to late summer BBQs, salads, stir frys, sandwiches and just for flat-out snacking, straight from the jar. The Bok 'n Broc is one of my favorite toppings for Chinese take out night or stir frys made at home. The Ginger Carrot Pickles are one of my absolute favorite pickles we make and I top every salad I eat with them in addition to guzzling the juice for a delicious electrolyte kick after coming in from the garden. So now is a great time to try these flavors if you have yet to venture deeper into our menu. Thanks so much for your support of small, local farms. Peace, Love & Farmentation!

SEASONAL BOUNTY IN A JAR!

Yes, it's true .... this is our favorite time of year to make fermented foods because the good Earth is crankin' out aaaaaall of the scrumptious, local, and delicious veggies for us to play with. So that means some of our beloved flavors are BACK IN STOCK! Load up on Nasturtium Kraut, Bok 'n Broc, and Cauli Kraut .... and also be sure to grab some Asparagus Dill Kraut and Snap Pea Dill Kraut while supplies last. Peace, Love & FARMentation :)

SPRING TONIC KRAUT is baaaaack!

Step into Spring with our decadent seasonal Spring Tonic Kraut and Juice.

This nutrient-dense seasonal features some of our favorite spring 'firsts' such as Redbuds, Stinging Nettle, Violet Leaf & Flower, Chickweed, Spring Onion, and Dandelion. Mineral-rich, gently lymphatic, slightly liver stimulating, and always full of healthy probiotics, this is a great addition to your seasonal spring cleanse, or a simple addition to a nourishing diet.

All of our krauts are wonderful atop your favorite spring salads and sandwiches (or as a zesty, stand-alone side dish) that not only adds the Party to the Plate, but replenishes electrolytes on these increasingly hot Virginia days.

However you indulge, don't miss this seasonal favorite! Very limited edition and generally sells out soon.

SEASONAL SALE

SEASONAL SALE!!

Green Tomato Chutney, Pickled Corn Salad and Fermented Garden Salsa are now 35% OFF!!

The seasonal bounty was SO good to us this year that .... whooopsie .... we made too much fermented goodness! Right now, we have several seasonal flavors still in stock that are nearing their Best Buy date. What that also means is that these flavors are STILL GOOD! Fermented foods can last for a year -- or years, even -- especially if refrigerated. We just need to turn them over because we've already marked them with the Best Buy label and are unable to sell them after that date, plus we need to make space in our stock room for our upcoming flavors. So now is your chance to get these fantastic flavors on the cheap to enjoy all winter long and until we make them again next year. Enjoy them a la carte with anything you are eating, such as soups, salads, stir frys, and sammies. Or, for a fantastic, FAST & EASY meal: place meats and/or veggies of choice into a crock pot. Empty contents of fermented kraut or pickled veggies into the pot and turn it on. Cook until meats/veggies are done (depends on ingredients and low vs. high settings). Optional: additional onions, garlic, spices. Serve in bowls "as is" with crusty, buttered bread for a simple meal or over buttered noodles or rice for a more hearty meal. Can you say S C R U M P T I O U S?!

Water Kefir Soda

Y'all thirsty? It's hot out there! And we are excited to continue offering our bubbly and refreshing Water Kefir Sodas in a variety of flavors to keep your electrolytes and enzymes well supplied.

Spring Blessings and Asparagus Abundance

What a blessing to experience such a long-lasting spring and circle back to the nourishing foods that nature provides this time of year. Every year, the return of asparagus, peas, greens, shoots and seedlings inspires our own renewal and growth. Celebrate accordingly with the return of the ever-popular and delish Asparagus-Dill Kraut. It is perfect for those lighter spring meals and works magic atop salads, light soups or as a jazzy side. From our hearts and hands to your health and hearth! Enjoy!
