Farmhouse Culture has been rooted in uncovering the potential of foods through the timeless art of fermentation. We turn simple, organic vegetables into intense taste experiences with surprising gut-centric benefits. Just like the process of fermentation, Farmhouse Culture is a celebration of good things that come together on this earth.

Stress, poor diet, medication, illness, and aging are the most well-known gut enemies. Adding probiotics from fermented organic vegetables is the best way to fuel the bacteria in your microbiome to be strong against those daily offenders.
A microbiome is a collection of all the bacteria that inhabit our digestive system. A healthy and diverse microbiome can directly affect the wellbeing of their host (YOU)! But don't just take our word for it, here is a quote from an article published by the Harvard University Health department
"Microbes in the lower intestinal tract help us digest food, fight harmful bacteria, and regulate the immune system. But sometimes an imbalance of microbes occurs, leading to diarrhea and other health problems.”
Here at Farmhouse Culture, we use one of the oldest and most traditional methods of fermenting and the bacterial strains involved in the fermentation process vary depending on the naturally occurring bacteria on the cabbage, but you can find the most prominent strains of bacteria listed on the packaging of each specific product. The following good bacterial strains are commonly found in our products:
Probiotics, also known as live cultures, good bacteria, or friendly flora, are bacteria that contribute positively to our health. Probiotics line your digestive tract and support your body’s ability to absorb nutrients and fight infection.
Probiotics are naturally found in our bodies, among the trillions of bacteria that make up our “microbiome” (the name for the community of bacteria that live on and around us). Stress, poor diet, antibiotics and disease can throw our microbiome out of balance, creating the need to supplement our body’s existing bacteria with probiotics. When you consume probiotics, they travel to your gut via your digestive system, where they not only help break down food and assist with the digestive process, but also fight off harmful bacteria and provide a host of other benefits.
