MAINE FERMENTS

Maine Ferments was born out of our fascination with the miracle of fermentation and a desire to share knowledge and cultures.

We are a 501c3 that serves as a vessel for culturing community, seeking to harmonize and enrich the diverse fermentation traditions in Maine.

We are fermenters, food producers, farmers, educators, chefs, and more.
