Over the years many people have asked us for kefir grains to make their own probiotic drinks. Well now I am very pleased to announce that Earth’s General Store is the first store in Edmonton to retail this beneficial product.

Last weekend we hosted a very successful fermentation workshop and during the workshop we launched the kefir product.

Many people are hungry, or should I say thirsty, for this product and I am happy to now make it available to people.

The Kefir kits consist of a mason jar with kefir grains accompanied by a paper bag with a plastic wide mouth funnel, instructions, a YouTube link, and a filtering bag.

These kits are grown and put together by a person right here in Edmonton.

Kefir consumption is recommended by several well known health advocates including Body Ecology.

For more information about kefir check out the following websites: Kefir: The Ancient Antidote for Modern Maladies, Wikipedia, and Kefir Country.

One customer has been using our Organic and Raw Thai Coconut Water to make Coconut Water Kefir. She says this is a fantastic product which was strongly echoed by the fermentation presenter.
