How It All Started
Ferment It came from a love of traditional food preservation and a commitment to sustainable living. Our founder, Emma Clarke, grew up in a home where fermentation was a household practice. Her grandmother’s sauerkraut and pickles were legendary in the small community where she lived.
Having studied food science and now working with artisanal food producers, Emma identified a gap in the market for high-quality fermentation equipment that functioned as well as being beautiful. She developed her first prototype glass fermentation jar with a unique airlock system in 2015.
From our first workshop in Emma's garage to our dedicated team of craftspeople & fermentation enthusiasts, we aim to democratize traditional fermentation for any lifestyle without compromising on quality or sustainability.
