We strive to take care of the earth because she takes care of us
Based in the Sierra Foothills in Grass Valley, California — fermenting since 2017.
Humble Beginnings
Local Culture had humble beginnings in 2017 by wanting to create a healthy and nutritious side dish for ourselves and our families. Starting out as a Farmer's Market side hustle, we quickly saw that it could become something bigger.
With our dedication to sustainability, we decided to grow our business keeping our core values of high standards, integrity and transparency intact. Local Culture Ferments is now a thriving company, ALL thanks to you!
We are the leading certified organic ferment company distributed nationwide that ferments in stainless steel tanks instead of the plastic alternative.
Sustainable Culture
Certified Organic
Direct relationships with certified organic regional farms are the foundation of our business.
Never Plastic
We understand that ferments leach toxins out of plastics. We ferment in stainless steel tanks and package in glass jars.
Zero Waste
We compost 100% of our facility food waste and recycle all packaging materials.
Glass Jars Only
No plastic packaging, ever. Glass preserves flavor and is endlessly recyclable.
Raw & Alive
Organic. Raw. Wild fermented. No added sugars, preservatives, or vinegars.

From farmer's market side hustle to nationwide distribution through KeHE and Sprouts — built by community, for community.
