Hi, I’m Holly
I’ll turn you into a Fermentation Ninja in no time!
In 1985, on a quiet side street in Moscow, Russia, a woman named Nastasia invited me to her home and offered me my first kombucha. I was hooked. And this was way before kombucha was hip, mind you.
At a pub in Munich, Germany, I ate my first sauerkraut alongside bratwurst and washed it down with a stein of hefeweizen. I don’t drink beer anymore, but sauerkraut is my daily fix.
Once, on a two-week road trip from Vancouver Island to Napa Valley, I didn’t bother to pack my sauerkraut. My digestion slowed to a crawl, my energy plummeted, and the fun was gone. That was the last time I made that mistake.
I have been learning, perfecting, and teaching the art of fermentation since 2002.
My mission is to help people invite the powerful and fun world of healthy bacteria into their homes in order to ferment delicious, gut-healing foods.
I have taught over 500 happy students how to safely ferment at home, both in-person and online. Come join the fermentation party!
