Fermentation Crocks made with ash glazes in a wood and salt atmosphere kiln. All ingredients are non-toxic. The inner lid is designed to press your vegetable material under the brine mixture.

This is the old world kraut crock, heirloom quality. I have a neighbor who has a three gallon crock from her great grandmother that was passed down and brought over from Romania. We just made a new lid for it in our studio, and the glaze couldn't match better...except if we had Romanian wood ashes.

The pictured crocks hold approximately 1-1/2 gallons and are priced at $135 (plus shipping/handling), which includes Sandor Katz' book, "Wild Fermentation"(the definitive guide to fermenting, pickling and brewing for fun and health). The crocks are $115 without the book, but you won't get the book for a better price (retails $25), and anyone looking for homegrown fermentation knowledge shouldn't have to live without it.

Sandor Katz' website has an abundance of information on the subject of fermented foods: www.wildfermentation.com
