Our preservation series continues into the wild world of fermentation! We are specifically talking about fermenting veggies in this episode, sourdough and kombucha will be coming down the line. This is part one of two where we are telling you all the nitty gritty details on the history,  process, and the equipment you will need.

Our shout out this week goes to the amazing Alpacas of Montana! Their commitment to quality alpaca fiber products as well as education to the community is truly inspiring. Go check them out at Alpaca Clothing: High-Quality and Hypoallergenic | Alpacas of Montana
