A local Seed Bank sounds like a wonderful idea! "Campaigners at several organisations including Open Source Seeds and the Campaign for Seed Sovereignty are calling for seeds to be brought back into common and collective ownership. They argue that something as universal as food crops should belong to everyone, not a small group of agrochemical companies. If you own the seeds you own the food system, says Schulze. Access to OP seeds is the cornerstone of food citizenship because it creates non-market access to growing. I want all local communities or regions to have their own seed bank, so everyone knows exactly where to get free seed.

The final result! The Spicy Brussels Sprouts ferment we posted a few weeks back is done! Now to use the extra brine to pickle some eggs (recipe in comments)... Pictured: *Finished fermented brussels (2) *Mid-ferment (1) *Start of ferment (1)

"In the normal scheme of things, we'd never have to think twice about replenishing the bacteria that allow us to digest food. But since we're living with antibiotic drugs and chlorinated water and antibacterial soap and all these factors in our contemporary lives that I'd group together as a ‘war on bacteria,' if we fail to replenish [good bacteria], we won't effectively get nutrients out of the food we're eating. Sandor Katz: Author, Speaker at the Portuguese Institute of... Macrobiotics, and Fermentation Revivalist. So, why not build your gut microbiome with cultured and fermented foods to make a connection between the wonderful food you eat, and the nutrients your body receives? How are you replenishing YOUR gut microbiome? Carefully-selected flower essences and herbs are just a small part of why we love FOLK Brewing Co.; add local water and cultures, nutrient-dense foods, and you have a winning recipe for gut microbiome success.
