About

Benicia Fermentory is a fermentation education company dedicated to helping people discover the art and science of fermented foods and beverages. Through hands-on classes, private workshops, corporate team-building experiences, and online courses, we make fermentation approachable, fun, and accessible for beginners and experienced fermenters alike.

Whether you're interested in creating sauerkraut, kimchi, kombucha, water kefir, fermented pickles, vinegars, or other traditional ferments, our classes provide practical skills you can confidently use at home. Rooted in Benicia and inspired by fermentation traditions from around the world, we believe fermentation is more than food—it's a way to build community, reduce waste, improve wellness, and reconnect with simple, time-honored techniques.
