- Sauerkraut
- Beet Kvass
- Kombucha (with SCOBYs available)
- Pickled Garlic Whistles
This is part of our introductory series. Please bring a guest!

What to bring?
Anything from Nourishing Traditions, the Healthy 4 Life booklet or Recipes of the Week would be wonderful. A simple homemade meal made from scratch using natural fats is always a great contribution.
Some examples include: a roasted chicken or other meat, meat and vegetable casserole, a dish made with soaked grains, soup using homemade bone broth, pastured egg quiche or other egg dish, organic salad with homemade dressing, steamed or roasted vegetables with butter or cream sauce, fermented vegetables, fresh or cooked fruit with raw whipped cream. If you come to the potlucks regularly, please try to bring a dish from a different category every so often.
Bring enough to share with everyone and be sure to include some traditional fats!
Children and guests welcome. Please bring dishes and serving utensils for your dish. Thanks!

It is simple to make, and yet an important health tonic. Former Chapter Leader, Victoria, says it is the first thing she teaches to her clients, as drinking it helps them improve digestion. She also says that people will frequently have a positive reaction to it, as if their bodies are saying: “Yes, this is what I needed!”

Why Eat Fermented Foods?
The single most important reason is to keep your digestive system happy! There is a war going on in your intestines every single day and you want the good guys to win! Friendly bacteria do many wonderful things for our health. It aids digestion, increases vitamin and enzyme content, facilitates assimilation of nutrients and even releases the trace mineral Glucose Tolerance Factor (GTF) chromium. GTF compound improves sensitivity to insulin for pre-diabetic and diabetic people.
Fermented foods colonize the intestinal tract with friendly gut flora which control putrefactive bacteria. It maintains proper pH balance in the colon and increases the bulk and frequency of bowel movements. This flora creates a living shield that covers the small intestines inner lining and helps inhibit pathogenic organisms. Most fermented foods create powerful antioxidants including the all-important glutathione and superoxide dismustase, which scavenge free radicals that can be a causal factor in cancer, diabetes and heart disease.
A little recognized benefit is healthy gut flora also transitions the inactive thyroid hormone T-4 into active T-3, which is important for energy, weight loss and healthy metabolism.
