We’re an Oregon-based company that grows and sells starter cultures, as well as supplies for fermentation. We’ve put our years of culturing knowledge and experience to work for you. Let us help you take out the guesswork.

We are on a mission to spread the word about the benefits of homemade fermented foods. We offer a wide range of starter cultures for the home user. Making your own probiotic-rich foods not only saves you money, but helps to populate your gut with healthy flora. Adding beneficial bacteria to your diet not only aids with digestion, but can bolster your immune system, metabolism, and overall health. Everything starts with the gut 😄

Want to stay dairy free? Water Kefir and kombucha are delicious beverages that are easy to add to your regimen. Tempeh and vegan yogurt are also great options. And who doesn’t love sourdough? Sourdough starter isn’t just for bread baking- use it to perk up your pancakes, biscuits, waffles, etc.

Gluten isn’t for you? We’ve got a gluten-free brown rice sourdough starter.

Love it all? There are several varieties of yogurt starters for experimentation, as well as cheese cultures- if you’re feeling funky 😄
