Meet the Sauerkraut Goddess behind this Proven 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… when once traveling without sauerkraut for a few weeks, she experienced slowed digestion, and lackluster energy and 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 her proven online program Ferment Like a Pro.

Praise for Holly and Her Online Course
I thought I knew how to make sauerkraut, but Holly’s fermentation method is a game-changer—it showed me how to correctly cut my cabbage and how to calibrate the amount of salt for consistent results. My sauerkraut is now always perfectly crunchy, salty, and tangy.
—Michal
We love sauerkraut, and I wanted to learn to make my own. My first venture went bad after a few months, so I needed info and found your online course. Your directions are so clear. My new batch is fermenting!
—Karen
I made sauerkraut 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!
—Eliza
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!!
—Diane Murray, New Mexico USA
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.
—Sally
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!

Yes, all payments are processed through the course platform’s payment processor and are 100% secure. Both PayPal and credit card payments are accepted.

Do I need to buy a ton of special equipment?
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.

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.
