Let customers speak for us
Very happy with grains so far. Not sour like other grains I have tried.
I’m so thrilled with my first kefir batch from these grains! Jared and the Fermentation Station team have been amazing with their support. The grains were a little slow at first (thanks to the cold), but with their helpful tips and patience, they took off. Now, after giving them a bit more warmth and time, I’m enjoying some of the best homemade kefir ever. Super happy with both the product and the service — I’ll definitely be coming back!

I have never made sourdough anything before so this was a bit of a whim buying a starter. I have now made 3 loaves and a batch of rolls which have all turned out brilliantly. All looked and tasted delicious. As we are only 2 in our household the rolls are definitely a more flexible option as I can make a batch and just cook a few at a time as we need them although a loaf works ok too just slice and keep in the freezer. No problems at all with the starter just follow the instructions and off you go.
The starter sprang into life really quickly. I follwed the advice on this sight and put it in the oven with just the light on for the prescribed amount of time. It rose, I discarded and I’m onto the second round before preparing to make bread. I have great hopes of having a perfect sourdough loaf.
