A Peak Inside the Fermentation Crock...

Here’s a little secret for perfect, crunchy sauerkraut: simple ratios and patience.
Classic Cumin Sauerkraut: 1 kg shredded cabbage + 25 g salt + 1 tsp cumin.
Massaged until the natural brine releases, packed tight, and weighted under liquid.

Latin-Style Curtido Kraut: Cabbage, garlic, chilli, yacon, purple carrot, and bay—vibrant, tangy, and rich in probiotics!

Want to master these techniques in person? Join us this Saturday, 26 Sept (1–3 PM) for Ferment & Flourish at Blue Petal HQ! We’ll be making sauerkraut, brined veggies, preserved lemons, kefir, and wild ginger bug brews.🌿

Morning swig or salad dressing? Why not both! 🌿

We love hearing how you enjoy your oxymels at home. While we love a cold, bubbly afternoon tonic over ice, Jane’s tip of drizzling our Turmeric & Ginger Oxymel over fresh lettuce salad is pure genius!

Because of its raw honey and raw apple c***r vinegar base, it makes the most delicious, instant vinaigrette with a subtle warm kick of turmeric and ginger.

Thank you so much Jane H. for the lovely 5-star review! 💛

Did you know "oxymel" comes from the ancient Greek words for acid and honey? 🌿

It’s an age-old herbal preparation that pairs raw honey with apple c***r vinegar to extract and deliver the goodness of plants - in this case, fiery ginger, golden turmeric and black pepper!

Beyond making a delicious, refreshing cold tonic when mixed with sparkling water over ice, oxymels are a wonderful daily ritual for digestive and seasonal wellness support. ✨

Golden, tangy and deeply soothing - it’s the ultimate natural afternoon pick-me-up.

✨ Stinging Nettle (Urtica dioica) – Nature’s natural antihistamine support

✨ Plantain (Plantago major/lanceolata) – Cools and tones irritated nasal passages

✨ Marshmallow Root (Althaea officinalis) – Calms dry, inflamed sinuses

✨ Raw Local Honey – Helps build natural tolerance to local pollen

From canopy to compost: Building living soil at Blue Petal! 🌿

Good herbal medicine starts long before the harvest - it starts with deep, healthy soil. We had the fantastic crew from on site clearing tree tops under the power lines and coppicing our eucalyptus block.

Instead of letting all that organic matter go to waste, we turn every branch into fresh woodchip mulch!

Our No-Till Bed Building Formula:
📦 Layer 1: wet cardboard or newspaper (w**d barrier + worm food)
🌾 Layer 2: Chopped green manures like Blue Lupin & Crimson Clover (nitrogen-rich chop-and-drop)
🪴 Layer 3: Aged compost & soil minerals
🪵 Layer 4: Deep woodchip mulch around frit trees in herb beds etc

Building soil circularity takes time, but the nutrient density in our spray-free botanicals makes every shovelful worth it.

🚨 FINAL CALL: Only 2 spots left for our Ferment & Flourish Workshop on Sat, 26 Sep! Learn how we turn fresh farm harvests into living probiotic foods.

(Huge thanks to the team for the heavy lifting!)
