Aoife & Jon from Good For You Ferments

We (Aoife & Jon) formed Good for You Ferments in 2020 after running sauerkraut businesses since 2016. We began growing our own food after moving to a property with a one-acre garden in 2011 and after searching for new ways to preserve our gluts of vegetables we came across lacto-fermentation (an ancient way of preservation using salt). We started making our own sauerkraut in 2014, and after giving lots away and then seeing the benefits to our family and friends who were eating it, we began selling at local markets in 2016. Since setting up our business we have juggled kids, grand-kids, jobs and a community garden but the passion and belief for our products have kept us going and not let us give up on own sauerkraut business dream.
