Many of us get into the homesteading lifestyle because of health issues or to regain control of the food we eat.
Gut health is key to our overall health.
Having healthy bacteria in our digestive system help keep our bodies mentally and physically strong.

One way to get cultivate good gut health is my eating fermented foods.
Fermented foods naturally have the healthy bacteria our bodies need. But the modern diet has taken out most of these foods for fear that they aren’t “safe”.
