Fermenters Club

Fermenters Club is a vibrant, community-driven organization on a heartfelt mission: to improve people's lives by teaching them the why and how of making and enjoying fermented foods, and to build communities that are -- as they lovingly put it -- connected through their guts. Founded in 2011 by Austin Durant, Fermenters Club has grown into a welcoming home for anyone curious about the ancient art of fermentation, whether you're a total beginner or a seasoned jar-stuffer.From sauerkraut and kimchi to kombucha, miso, sourdough, and beyond, Fermenters Club offers something for everyone -- hands-on workshops, self-paced online courses, live virtual classes, recipes, tools, and even a published cookbook, Fearless Fermenting. Austin has taught hundreds of classes, hosted fermentation festivals drawing over a thousand attendees, and collaborated with leading gut microbiome researchers at UC San Diego. Whether you're looking to nourish your body, explore a new hobby, or simply find your people, Fermenters Club throws open the door and says: pull up a jar and join us!
