Articles Reflections and ruminations from a small fermentary
Running a hyper-local microbusiness on a small island is a truly challenging, and rewarding endeavour.
From time to time we write articles about:
- New products and fermentation techniques we’re learning about.
- The health benefits associated with fermented foods.
- The environmental and economic pressures that influence our evolving business.
- The morals and principles that underlie what we do, and how we do it.
We hope you enjoy them. If there’s something else that you’d like to know more about – contact us.
