Local business, handmade organic sauerkraut & other gut-friendly food and drinks

Naturally fermented, unpasteurised sauerkraut in a vibrant range of delicious flavours

Aoife & Jon started making their own sauerkraut in 2014, and after giving lots away and then seeing the benefits to their family and friends who were eating it, they began selling at local markets in 2016. Their goal is to run an environmentally friendly, sustainable business that produces top quality ferments.

Sourcing local ingredients is extremely important to them, and they always choose to buy local and use local services whenever they can. Good For Your Ferments make 6 different flavours and sometimes an extra seasonal special. These are Celtic Kymchi, Smokin' Hot, Bangin' Beets, Classic, Tropical Turmeric and Sea Green. Their products are completely natural, live, handmade in small batches, allergen free and suitable for vegans.

10 YEARS OF GOOD FOR YOU FERMENTS! 🥬✨

It all started with 50kg of cabbages, a rented Robot Coupe and a kitchen full of fermenting experiments.

Over the last decade, we’ve taste-tested flavours with friends and family, traded under three different business names, won Great Taste Awards, built a purpose-built kitchen, launched an online shop, travelled the UK, stocked shops across Wales, run 50+ workshops and even started growing our own vegetables through Blackhills CSA.

It’s not always been plain sailing. We’ve navigated environmental health paperwork, trading standards, trademark issues, kitchen moves and life’s many unexpected challenges along the way.

But through it all, we’ve stayed passionate about sharing the joy of fermentation and helping people discover a simple, affordable and delicious way to support their gut health.

Thank you to everyone who has bought a jar, attended a workshop, volunteered, shared advice or simply cheered us on from the sidelines. We genuinely couldn’t have done it without you.

Here’s to 10 years of kraut, community and keeping things bubbling away. 💚
