Wise Goat Organics on the Wisdom of Fermented Foods |
You may recognize Mary Risavi from her years as a friendly and knowledgeable purveyor of kohlrabi, exotic root vegetables, and specialty greens at the Heirloom Organic Gardens’ farmers market stand. She moved on to pursue her master’s in Traditional Chinese Medicine, but she now brings her passion for local produce and nutrition back to the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market with Wise Goat Organics, a one-woman kraut business based in San Juan Bautista.
You can find Wise Goat’s carefully made, hyper-local ferments, which range from the classic to experimental, at the market on Saturdays. We spoke with Mary about the best ways to enjoy kraut, the wisdom of fermented foods, and how to stay well in the winter months. |
