This is a great time of year to try fermenting your vegetables and making pickles. In this weather you can make a fresh fermented pickle or a mild sauerkraut in only 3 days! I use cabbage for sauerkraut, beets for pickled beets, pickling cucumbers for many kinds of pickles, radish for kimchi and kohlrabi for a variety of healthy probiotic ferments. This post will get you started with and fermenting: Beginner's Guide to Fermenting at Home and my post for Easy Fermented Cucumber Pickles. If you want to buy Beets, Cabbage or Cucumbers in BULK for canning, pickling, fermenting, etc - just shoot us an email. If you need help pickling - let me know!
