The Shockeys got their start in fermenting foods over twenty years ago on 40-acres of wooded hillside on unceded Takelma territory which grew into their organic food company. They realized that their passion lay in the desire to both teach people how to ferment and push this culinary art to new flavors. They lead experiential workshops worldwide and online helping people to make, enjoy and connect with their food through fermentation.  Kirsten is a co-founder of The Fermentation School a women-owned and women-led benefits corporation supporting the voices of independent educators to empower learning and build culture.
