Wonderful, unique and unusual small store focusing on fermentation and accessories. Super helpful and knowledgeable staff. Right now I have 2 one gallon kombucha brews going and 1 red and 1 white wine vinegars. Worthy of your support.

Really well curated selection of products and books to make jams, kombucha, vinegar, butter, tinctures, cheese, and other fermented and homemade products. The staff is really knowledgeable and they have a lot of courses you can pay for. While not necessarily the best prices, it's...Read More

The store is great! The new location is so spacious. Everyone who works here is super nice and really helpful. They'll give you tons of tips on how to get your ferments going strong, and then they also offer classes for a little Hands-On experience.

I went to Preserved super new to canning. For a store that is so full of high level equipment and specialized supplies, it is a unique talent to create an atmosphere that is as welcoming, accessible, and un-intimidating as it feels walking into Preserved. ...Read More

I loved this store and wish we had more like it. If you're in need of some specialty ingredient for baking or ferment, you gotta check this place out. It's the only place I know where I can get diastatic malt powder in...Read More

Highly recommend the coconut probiotic yogurt!!! I’ve tried several different brands, but the one at Preserved is by far the best.

While it may not be the best choice for you if you are looking for something simple like canning jars, this one stop shop has plenty of specialty tools you cannot buy at the grocery store. The store is small, but the stock is well...Read More

What a great little shop. I’ve been pickling home grown peppers and pickles for a couple years and heard about this place only recently. I was on the mission to do some sauerkraut to cap off some home made pastrami I was working on, and...Read More

Ordered online from their website - good selection of kombucha supplies, accessories, and unique flavorings. Not the cheapest prices, but overall excellent quality. My order shipped same day and came with a handwritten thank you note! Hope to visit the store in person someday.

I love this shop and its classes. The first time I went for a Camembert class which was super fun and informative—I especially liked that they sent us home with a wheel to age on our own. The second time was for the kombucha class...Read More

Where to start?! I went here on a Sunday searching for a few odds and ends for brewing beer and was delightfully surprised at the gem that is Preserved. Although there isn't a super comprehensive collection of actual beer related stuff, she …

Really cute shop. A little pricey, but I haven't really done price comparisons... so for all I know the prices could be standard. Lots of neat kits, tools, and books to make your own bread, pasta, kombucha, pickles, butter, cheese, etc.

So much of our food culture has its origins in preserving the harvest. Humans have invented so many ways to preserve food and this store carries everything you need to get started. Korean kimchi classes, mason jars, lactic acid bacteria, cheese cloth, salt, etc. Worth...Read More

Bought live/wet water kefir grains from Preserved back in January 2020, they're still going strong feeding them with Sucanat/Turbinado :) Preserved sells some quality products and are very helpful if you are starting out or just curious!

Fantastic shop to get supplies for canning and other kitchen DIY (herbal tinctures, beer, bitters, cheese...). Very knowledgeable and helpful staff can find almost anything you need and answer questions or provide advice also.
