Terms of Use

Welcome

The Ferment Guide is a free educational resource about fermentation. By using this site, you agree to these simple terms.

Content & Advice

Everything on this site is for informational and educational purposes only. We share what has worked for us and for the fermentation community, but we're not food scientists or medical professionals.

Fermentation involves live microorganisms. While traditional fermented foods have been made safely for thousands of years, you are responsible for following safe food handling practices. When in doubt, use common sense: if something looks or smells wrong, throw it out.

Affiliate Links

Some links on this site are affiliate links, meaning we earn a small commission if you make a purchase through them. This doesn't cost you anything extra. We only recommend products we genuinely use and trust.

Product prices, availability, and descriptions may change after we publish them. We do our best to keep things accurate but can't guarantee real-time accuracy on pricing.

Intellectual Property

The written content, design, and branding on The Ferment Guide are ours. You're welcome to share links to our guides, but please don't copy and republish our content without permission.

Photos on this site are either our own or used under license. They are not available for reuse without permission.

No Warranty

This site is provided “as is.” We do our best to keep information accurate and up to date, but we make no warranties about the completeness, reliability, or accuracy of any content.
