These handmade fermentation crocks are ideal for making a variety of fermented vegetables including sauerkraut, pickles, and kimchi.  They can also be used to make kombucha, and coconut-water or coconut milk kieffer. 

There are good reasons why interest in fermenting is expanding.  Fermented foods are great for a healthy gut, improving digestion, boosting the immune system, and, of course, they're delicious!  Regardless of your reason, these beautifully crafted pieces will be a beautiful addition to your kitchen counter to enjoy throughout the year.

Water-seal fermentation crocks allow for almost care-free fermentation.  Their special design allows the vegetable ferment to be protected by a water "moat" around the rim, keeping bugs and bacteria out.   They are available in a variety of sizes, and each comes with a custom fitted set of glazed ceramic followers (also called "stones" or "weights").

There are lots of great resources available for the beginner.  An excellent website for all things fermented:  Holly Howe, http://www.makesauerkraut.com/fermentation-crocks/.  Holly's site includes a wealth of general information about fermenting as well as great recipes.  Her favorite kind of crock?  Water-sealed (of course).  An excellent book (available in paperback, hardback, or as an e-edition) is Kirsten K. Shockey and Christopher Shockey's Fermented Vegetables.  Full of great photos, recipes, and lots of information about the science of fermenting.
