I finally turned the fermentation recipes I teach in real life into simple PDF guides you can use at home.

Sauerkraut. Pickles. Kombucha. Tepache. Ginger bug.

Each guide uses small-batch, mason-jar methods with clear ratios (I teach by weight, not guesswork).

✔ Beginner-friendly ✔ Instant downloads ✔ $5 each

Available now on my website and on Etsy — whichever you prefer.

It’s here! Our first-ever recorded fermentation class is LIVE. Couldn’t make it to a Benicia Fermentory workshop? Now you don’t have to!

You can stream our Apple Cider Vinegar class anytime, anywhere — and learn how to turn apples, sugar, and time into something wild, raw, and alive.

This is the real deal — filmed during a live workshop full of laughter, questions, and “wait… is it supposed to do that?” moments. 
You’ll get: 🎥 the full recorded class 📘 a downloadable recipe + fermentation guide ⏳ lifetime access to rewatch, pause, and ferment at your own pace

It’s just $29, and it’s the first step in bringing our little Benicia fermentation scene to kitchens everywhere.

🎬 Filmed at @mareislandbrewingco  📸 Photography by @sorgansf  🗞 Featured in @pressdemo + @vallejotimesherald

👉 Tap the link in bio or visit beniciafermentory.com/pre-recorded-video-library/ to start fermenting with us from the comforts of your own home.

Grow. Ferment. Thrive.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined my Honey-Fermented Garlic Class last week! 🧄🍯 Your enthusiasm keeps this fermentation movement alive and growing.

🌼 Special recognition to Flow Hive — their beekeeping display equipment became a centerpiece of the evening, helping us explore the essential role of pollinator bee friends and inspiring students to imagine their own beekeeping journey. 🐝💛

I’m also grateful to these amazing partners in the craft:
🐝 Benicia Honey Co. for their pure, local honey.
🌸 Heidrun Meadery (Point Reyes) for showcasing how different blossoms create unique honey profiles.
🍯 Ritta’s Honey for sharing delicious honey-fermented garlic as inspiration.

Together, these partners helped highlight the beautiful intersection of bees, honey, and fermentation.

💡 Curious to join the movement? Upcoming classes are live at beniciafermentory.com. Come learn, taste, and create with us!
