Elk Mountain Farmacy is the creation of Ryan Gannaway and Jake Sakson. Born of a passion for probiotic, locally sourced food, these two have created something truly special. For more of the philosophy behind the ferments, read on! Below is a passage written by Ryan that outlines the beliefs that drive her to make her beautiful products:

“Consciousness is a gift for humanity. We have the choice to live in harmony or separation with one another. Our world seems more keen to build walls than break them down.  I  am hopeful that one day we will realize the power of collective consciousness –  and create a society built on community, environment, and prosperity for all. Both the darkness and the light of life inspires me to evolve and discover. I dream that one day a nature based economy will blossom and we will all have the opportunity to trade our talents and products for other services without the hindrance of capitalism. I do not know if this will be achieved in my lifetime, or my children’s lifetime, but it is certainly worth striving for."
