Crunchy carrots with a slow, smoky heat.
a note from the kitchen
Small batches mean some jars disappear fast. If your favorite's gone, it's probably just fermenting, check back in a week or two!
Snappy, briny, gone by Tuesday.
Small batch, big opinions
Every jar we make is fermented in small batches, by hand, in Cortland, New York: raw, unpasteurized, and alive. Where most supermarket kraut is quick-pickled with vinegar in a matter of days, ours ferments slowly, the old way, for weeks or months. No heat-treating, no vinegar, no preservatives, no rushing. Just real vegetables, real salt, real time, and the wild cultures that show up when you let good ingredients do their thing.
Nothing is cooked or heat-treated, so the live cultures and their probiotics stay alive all the way to your fork.
We don't rush good food. Our sauerkrauts wild-ferment a patient 4 to 6 months, building the deep, complex tang you cannot fake with vinegar.
Cabbage from a multi-generational family farm in Central New York, organic beets from Chicory Creek Farm, napa cabbage and cucumbers from Plowbreak and Stick & Stone. Farmers we know by name.
By popular demand
For years, folks at our farmers market stands in the Finger Lakes asked when they could get our Garlic Dill Pickles online. Now they can. They're naturally fermented full sours, alive with flavor and naturally occurring probiotics. Crunchy, tangy, and delicious.
We source as many cucumbers as we can locally from Stick and Stone Farm and Plowbreak Farm in the Finger Lakes region of New York. When demand outruns the harvest, we supplement with cucumbers from outside our region.
Our pickle juice is the lacto-fermented brine from those same pickles, never made with vinegar. Start with the 32 oz Garlic Dill Pickles.
Living foods
We don't rush good food. While mass-produced kraut is quick-pickled with vinegar or hurried out in days, ours undergoes a slow, traditional 4 to 6 month wild fermentation. That patient aging lets waves of beneficial lactic acid bacteria flourish, fully breaking down the cabbage for better bioavailability and developing a rich, complex, tangy flavor.
The long ferment also generates postbiotics: beneficial compounds and organic acids made by the probiotic microbes, associated with gut lining integrity and immune health. Raw, alive, and honest. That is the whole point.
Naturally gluten-free · no added sugar, vinegar, or preservatives · nothing you can't pronounce.
