About 3 years ago these childhood friends began selling their kimchi at farmers markets. Nate grew up makingsaurkraut with his family for New Years. They would make about three hundred pounds and give it out to their friends and family. Nate developed a love of fermenting which sent him down a rabbit hole. He made hot sauce, soy sauce and even miso and chocolate. Finally he discovered kimchi. From there he took his expertise and sought to refine and put his stamp on this wonderful fermented creation. Mark provides his experience and knowledge spices and flavors to help add an intense complexity to this Korean icon. Nate and Mark’s expressions are like nothing you’ve ever tried. Crunchy… Tangy… Tremendous! Try it on everything just eat it right out of the jar.

They were drinking vodka martini’s with Mark and the asked the question. “Why are we drinking these with imported vodka?” Mark has twenty five plus years of experience under his belt making booze. Conversations ensued and a plan was created to take vodka made in New Zealand to the United States market. They developed a recipe for their vodka that is produced from whey.
