Why We Ferment: The Story Behind Wild Pantry

Wild Pantry started with a health scare. In early 2025, Daniel was diagnosed with a pre-cancerous gut condition after just a two years of reflux and indigestion. It was a shock. Like many people, we thought gut issues were just something you put up with. But this was different. It forced us to stop and look deeper.

We began to change what we ate. We cut back on ultra-processed foods. We started making our own ferments at home. And slowly, things shifted. Daniel was able to come off his medication. Alice’s constant bloating settled too. We both felt more energised, more balanced.

That’s when Wild Pantry began to take shape. We weren’t just doing this for ourselves anymore. We realised fermented foods could help more than just us. These foods aren’t new, they’ve been part of traditional diets across the world for centuries; but they’ve been pushed aside in favour of convenience.

We now make small-batch Water Kefirs, PowerKrauts, ImmuniKrauts and Fermented Salsa, all packed with live cultures, made from responsibly ingredients and full of flavour. Everything we make is raw and unpasteurised. It’s fermented slowly and naturally. We don’t filter it, pasteurise it or add anything artificial. The fridge is our only preservative.

Our goal is simple: to help you eat for your gut without stress or rules. We’re not selling a diet, a cleanse, or a quick fix. We’re just here to support you in feeling better in your body, from the inside out.

If you’re just starting to explore fermented foods, welcome. We’ve been there. You don’t need to change everything overnight. Just start small. Add a spoonful of kraut to your lunch. Try a bottle of kefir in place of your usual soft drink. See how you feel.

We're here to help make this simple, natural and part of your daily life. And if you ever see us on the doorstep during local deliveries, don’t be shy we’re your neighbours too.
