Ferment for Function

Thank you for all the inquiries regarding fermentation events this fall. It's great to hear of people eager to ferment the harvest. Regretfully, I am unable to offer my usual fall fermentation events and Shreddin' Hoedown this year while completing my master's at the U of A.
I encourage you to source great cabbage for your sauerkraut this year from one of the following vendors:
- Sand Springs Ranch (organic) at the Lac La Biche Farmer's Market on Fridays,
-Peas on Earth (organic) in Sturgeon County and at the Strathcona Farmer's Market in Edmonton
-Linda's Market Garden (non-organic) in Smokey Lake
-Jake, the farmer, at Red Deer Farmer's Market on Saturdays (not certified organic)
Don't hesitate to check out my online Introduction to Vegetable Fermentation Course in place of my in-person events. This is what I began to teach hundreds of people the first 2 years I offered my courses.

When you want better _______(fill in the blank), pay attention to your gut.

✔︎better energy
✔︎better brain function
✔︎better mood
✔︎better digestion (and absorption)
✔︎better hormonal balance
✔︎better immunity
✔︎better....... (the list is endless)

Health on so many fronts stems from strong gut health 💪.

Raw fermented foods with live microbes is one part to seeing your health flourish through your gut.

Prebiotics; probiotic supplements; polyphenols in herbs, spices, and oils; and even omega-3 fatty acids like in cold water fish and walnut seeds also contribute to a rich population of intestinal microbes.

Where has the explosion of non-celiac gluten intolerance, wheat allergy, and celiac disease come from?🧐

Why are so many people reacting to grains, particularly those with gluten.🤷‍♀️

The study below 👇👇correlated new cases of celiac disease and the application of glyphosate (ingredient in Roundup) on wheat.

This study can't explain the CAUSE of why so many people have gluten and grain issues.

But glyphosate may be 1️⃣reason.

Glyphosate stimulates zonulin, which increases the space between intestinal cells, causing increased intestinal permeability.

Inflammation, stress, refined foods, disease, toxins, infection, and not eating fermented foods also contribute to increased permeability.

The Bonnyville Organic Buying Group was started to make organic foods affordable and accessible (our next order is in November). Look for an organic guying group in your area.

Add fermented foods, daily. Fermented foods can help break down toxins like glyphosate.

If you don't know how to ferment checkout my online fermentation course or come to my workshop in Bonnyville on September 26th (watch for registration this week).
