Sacred Fermentation
food sovereignty ~ mutual aid ~ kitchen witchery
Sacred Fermentation is an effort to share the magic & medicine of healthy, fermented vegetables.
How it works:
~ A small group pays for ingredients & makes a big batch of fermented vegetables.
~ 10 days later, the same small group jars the veggies from the crock & takes home their share.
~ Some of the batch will be distributed to those in need.
Repeat. Repeat. REPEAT.
Meaning – this is an ongoing effort & there will be ongoing opportunities. If you’re on the email list, you’ll be able to sign up for a round of fermentation.
And if you’re wondering, Why fermentation?
That’s a great question.
Fermented vegetables are very healthy. And when properly stored, they have a much longer shelf life than fresh produce.
Proper storage = tightly packed in a well-sealed container (see photo).
Fermented veggies are an excellent way to have ready-to-eat servings of vegetables, that can be eaten alone or as an ingredient in other dishes, without the need to chop or cook.
If you –
~ want to make delicious & healthy fermented vegetables
~ understand that preparing food is powerful ritual magic
~ want to support those in need, without needing a direct, personal connection to the recipients

Please note - this is not a revenue-generating operation for me. I’ll get a share of the ferment, since I’ll be preparing it with the group. But costs are based on what’s needed for ingredients, supplies, and distribution.
