I live in the mountains of Western North Carolina with my husband, Jeff, and our two teens. I blog about self-confidence, health and home, homeschooling and living a vibrant, wide-open Jesus-centered lifestyle. I have over seventeen years of real food, natural lifestyle and health experience. We have homeschooled our children since birth and both Jeff and I run home-based businesses. We're crazy, we know it, and we love every second of it!

I have a vacuum sealer and mason jar attachment that I have used when storing dehydrated fruit and veggies which creates an airtight seal. Can I use this for ferments stored in a mason jar? Please reply via email. Thanks.
I’ll be addressing the vacuum sealer issue in Friday’s post. A vacuum creates an inward, consistent pressure. The vegetables will produce CO2 and that will counteract the vacuum and pop the seal quickly. So it won’t work.

Thank you for your brave and wonderful commentary regarding lacto-fermentation vessels.
After reading your EXTENSIVE commentary on why one should use the Pickl-It, I was 90% convinced, so I contacted the co-inventer.
After speaking with her (she volunteered to do so at length), I was impressed with the breadth and depth of both her and YOUR knowledge on this subject and others.
Off-topic, can you recommend a grain mill and a good source for buckwheat? I am attempting to go gluten free but would still like some grains such as breads and pancakes.
I use a Family Grain Mill and I purchase buckwheat through UNFI. Azure is similar, depending on where in the country you live.
