ABOUT HEX FERMENTS:

HEX Ferments started as a performance art piece of a Hexen who traveled the countryside with a cabinet of ferments on their back to heal people. Meaghan was the artist/performer in the piece, and Shane was the photographer. 

Now, HEX Ferments is the only fermented foods shop of its kind in the entire country. HEX Ferments believes in the traditional way, which is healthier for the environment and healthier for the human body.

HEX Ferments is a partner of many local and organic farmers, a certified B-corporation, and a 100% Windpowered business. It produces and sells nutrient-rich fermented vegetables, from kimchi to sauerkraut, and kombucha tea. Scroll down below to check out the delicious options HEX Ferments offers!

FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT MAKING IN BALTIMORE:

The people! We love talking and connecting with fellow makers, growers, and Baltimoreans. Coming from Minneapolis and Seattle, Baltimore has one of the most open-minded maker communities we have encountered. You can do anything here and you will have an audience. Also, the palate of our community is so diverse, the more unique and funky our flavors get the more they are loved. When we first opened our shop in Belvedere Square people came from all over the city to tell us pickle stories: about the old delis in Lexington Market with whole pickled onions,  the kimchi buried in their mother-in-law’s backyard, and the sauerkrauts grandma used to make.  We’ve been given gifts of fermentation, from the homemade jars and bottles of prized ferments to heirloom family fermentation crocks.  We’ve felt so welcomed by hearing these stories. 

BIGGEST CHALLENGE YOU’VE OVERCOME MAKING IN BALTIMORE: 

Trying to navigate licensing and permitting to become Baltimore’s first fermented foods company.
