The Cultured Way


The Cultured Way
Your Gut Health, Your Immunity. Better – Gut – Life
The Cultured Way started as a personal mission to address my persistent health issues, which I traced back to my gut. Industrial farming and synthetic chemicals have weakened our immune systems and health, so I took matters into my own hands. I began experimenting in my farm kitchen, starting with Winifred, our first milking cow, to create kefir - a probiotic-rich drink packed with beneficial microbes. This led to making Kombucha, Beet Kvass, Sauerkraut, and my Fire Tonic. With each new ferment, I improved my health dramatically. Seeing the transformation, friends and family wanted to try these wild ferments. Demand grew, and we turned the old stables at Oaklands into a fully equipped production kitchen. What began as a personal quest has grown into a passion and a business, helping others restore health and vitality through wild fermented foods. At the Cultured Way, we’re committed to sharing the benefits of gut-nourishing ferments with everyone. Caroline, The Cultured Way Founder

Guided by nature's healing power, we honour every step from harvest to delivery, nurturing health, sustainability, and community to bring you wild-fermented products that nurture and support you.

Why Gut Health & Wild Ferments Matter:
Gut health is the cornerstone of well-being. It helps digest food, unlocks nutrients, and supports the immune system, hormones, and serotonin levels. An unbalanced gut leads to compromised immunity. The Cultured Way’s wild-fermented products naturally support gut health by enhancing nutrient bioavailability and sustaining healthy gut flora, ensuring essential vitamins, minerals, and enzymes are absorbed effectively.
