The Book: Grow Ferment Thrive

by Kelsey Bye
Coming Soon


A New Voice in Fermentation

Equal parts fermentation guide and personal journey, Grow Ferment Thrive explores what happens when we reconnect—with the land, with microbes, and with ourselves.

What started as a simple book of fermentation recipes grew into a personal philosophy—one that carried me through the heartbreak of divorce and helped me find meaning in the mess. Grow Ferment Thrive mirrors the human journey: cultivating strong foundations, enduring the chaos of transformation, and emerging more resilient and purposeful—just like fermented foods, which become stronger, more flavorful, and more complex through stress.

This book honors the idea that suffering isn’t just something we survive—it’s something that can shape us into something more dynamic, vibrant and full of life.


In Development

Grow Ferment Thrive is currently in progress. I’m seeking the right publishing path—whether traditional or independent—and am actively connecting with:

  • Editors & proofreaders
  • Publishers & agents
  • Designers & creatives who share this vision
