🌸 Spring is here! 🌱☀️

Longer days, a little more sunshine… and plenty of time spent in the garden between the showers! 🌦️🌿

This weekend was all about clearing the veggie garden and getting it ready for my upcoming summer plantings, picking a few fresh flowers along the way 🌸 and then rewarding myself with a fresh, colourful lunch — topped, of course, with a generous helping of my Dill & Garlic Kraut. Because lunch is better with kraut! 😋

Spring meals are all about freshness, colour and crunch — and my krauts and kimchi are ready to bring that extra little zing and fermented goodness to your plate. 💚

🫙 Currently available:

🌶️ Kimchi
🧄 Dill & Garlic Kraut
🌿 Carrot, Turmeric & Chilli Kraut
🥕 Carrot & Ginger Kraut — only a few jars left!

$13 per 500g jar

Thank you for supporting my little Gut Instinct journey — every jar, order and kind word means so much 💚
