Meet the Sauerkraut Goddess behind this Brand New Program

Holly Howe is a grade school teacher turned fermentation educator and founder of the popular MakeSauerkraut.com website where she has helped thousands of people successfully master fermentation in a jar with just cabbage, salt, time, and a bit of help from the bacterial world.
Since her mid-twenties, Holly has been fascinated by the food she eats and its connection to her health. Holly was compelled to add fermented foods to her family’s diet after reading Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon, a book based on the diets of healthy traditional cultures and the foods they ate.
Holly started by buying Bubbies sauerkraut at her local health food store and added it to evening meals. Getting her family to eat this new-fangled food took a bit of work. They just were not sold on the flavor.
She decided to try her hand at making her own. With no YouTube video to guide her and only one fermentation book to refer to, she made her first batch of sauerkraut. Result?
Flat-tasting. Musty.
Not to be deterred, she experimented with different ingredients and soon came up with a combination her younger son loved, Sweet Garlic Sauerkraut, and then Firecracker Sauerkraut, a winner in her husband’s book.
Adding other vegetables opened up a wide new world. Then, it was time to experiment with different salts and figure out how to get consistent batches. After many trials and tribulations, she was stocking her fridge with flavors the family loved.
And… once traveling without sauerkraut for a few weeks, with slowed digestion, and lackluster energy, she quickly realized what she was missing. Her daily dose of homemade probiotics.
And now, almost twenty years later and with hundreds of quarts and dozens of crocks of sauerkraut under her belt, she is helping others bring scrumptious sauerkraut to their dinner tables.
She shares her method and many techniques in this new online program Ferment Like a Pro.

Praise for Holly and Her Online Course
Little did I know well simple cabbage in the right hands of a quality online instructor could improve my health and sauerkraut making skills - and I did know SO little - but no longer. Holly Howe’s online course was mind-boggling helpful. I learned a LOT. My mundane sauerkraut fabrication skills are now a whole new level. Yes, I’d recommend this course to my sisters, brothers, neighbors, and anyone else who asks, “This sauerkraut is awesome. Where did you buy it?”
A rare balance of just enough art, science, and experienced mentorship to give you the confidence to learn and master this important fermented food.
I made saurkraut following your steps and not only was it amazing but I give my 7 month old the juice from it. My 9 year old LOVES it and I had family over and offered them some who also loved it! Going to do it again soon since it's almost all gone!
I'm so glad I took part in Ferment Like a Pro. I already had some experience with fermenting -- both success and failure -- but Holly's instruction explained why I got those results. The course boosted my confidence and I made 4 different ferments. They're all delicious. The best part was meeting on Zoom with people from all over the world and becoming an international community of fermentistas -- what fun!! Where before I dabbled, I'm now a committed fermenter -- improving my health and having one heck of a good time. Ten stars!!
What I found most helpful is the principle of basing everything on weight and on working out the salt ratios. I'm sure when you're very experienced, you can get away with doing it by feel like Sandor Katz, but I'm a beginner and I really appreciated the simplicity and security of having numbers. Thank you again so much for your excellent recipes.
I would consider myself a novice-tentative fermenter, with about 50% success rate in the past (failure=mushy, off-putting mold overgrowth...). Using Holly's methods and advice, especially about the value of measuring ALL ingredients, I have gained confidence AND successfully produced a variety of plain and flavored sauerkrauts. Also valuable was her info on the many benefits to gut health of adding fermented veg and fruit to the diet. Super course and instructor!

You don’t need to buy special jars or fancy airlocks. Most of the equipment you need to ferment sauerkraut can be found in your kitchen. If you don’t have a canning jar, you can repurpose a similar-sized jar, and I share various suggestions for homemade fermentation weights.
You will need a kitchen scale, which can be purchased for under $25. Fermentation is a fun science and the bacteria that do the work for you, work best with a set amount of salt. A kitchen scale will ensure that you get this correct—batch after batch. In the course, I cover in great detail how to best get your money’s worth out of your scale.
No fermentation experience is needed to be successful in this course. It is designed for the total newbie yet, full of enough treasures to take your fermentation to the next level.

Holly’s personal note: All that being said, I’m not a fan of Facebook considering the level of censorship they’ve displayed towards topics related to alternative health. I’m in the process of looking for alternative solutions that respect free speech.
At the moment, I don’t have a clear date at which this course will be given again.
This is second run of this program and my goal is to get as much feedback as possible from my students, and then go back to the drawing board to make the program even better before re-launching it, most likely at a higher price point.
I recommend that you purchase your access now rather than later. You will receive all future updates and added bonus modules at no additional costs.
You can join the Ferment Like a Pro private Facebook group, only for students, to get additional support, advice and brainstorming help from other fermenters on the same path as you.
I can’t wait to see your jars of beautiful sauerkraut. I’ll be hanging out in the Facebook group too, ready to give help and feedback. Let’s get started!
From their website…
Regenerative agriculture focuses on rebuilding organic matter and living biodiversity in soil, which produces increasingly nutrient-dense food year after year — while rapidly sequestering excess atmospheric carbon underground to reverse climate change.
Chemical agriculture enthusiastics have told the world that traditional agriculture cannot feed the world’s growing population, which is why GMO and synthetic fertilizers are necessary. Evidence points to a new wisdom: The world cannot be fed unless the soil is fed. Right now, we are in a soil crisis. Scientists predict we have roughly 50 harvests left if we continue with chemical agriculture practices such as tilling and synthetic inputs on a global scale. Regenerative agriculture enhances and sustains the health of the soil by restoring its carbon content, which in turn improves productivity—just the opposite of chemical agriculture.
Regenerative agricultural practices include:
- No tillage
- Diverse cover crops
- In-farm fertility (no external nutrients)
- compost
- Holistic planned grazing
- No pesticides or synthetic fertilizers
- Multiple crop rotations
- Biochar
- Pollinator “highways”
Together, these practices increase carbon-rich soil organic matter. The result: vital microbes proliferate, roots go deeper, nutrient uptake improves, water retention increases, plants are more pest resistant, and soil fertility compounds. Farms are seeing soil carbon levels rise from a baseline of 1 to 2 percent up to 5 to 8 percent over ten or more years, which can add up to 25 to 60 tons of carbon per acre.
It is estimated that at least 50 percent of the carbon in the earth’s soils has been released into the atmosphere over the past centuries. Bringing that carbon back home through regenerative agriculture is one of the greatest opportunities to address human and climate health, along with the financial well-being of farmers.
