Food, Product, and Membership Disclaimers

 

1. Educational Purposes Only: All content—including blog articles, courses, recipes, wellness information, and cultural insights—is educational in nature. Nothing is intended as medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

2. Food Safety and Non-Commercial Production: Our foods and beverages are wild and traditionally cultured, handmade, and produced in non-commercial kitchens. They are not regulated, inspected, or approved by state or federal agencies. By becoming a member and/or consuming these products, you accept the inherent risks of traditional fermentation and raw food consumption.

3. Raw Milk and Dairy Products: Raw milk and raw dairy items are available exclusively to members through our Private Membership Association. These products are unpasteurized, may naturally contain live bacteria, and carry inherent consumption risks. By choosing to receive or use them, you accept full responsibility for your personal choices.

4. No Guarantee of Outcomes: While many traditions and studies highlight potential benefits of fermented and traditionally prepared foods, we make no guarantees of health outcomes or specific results.

5. Product Variability: Because our offerings are handmade, small-batch, and microbially active, variations in taste, carbonation, appearance, and texture are normal and expected. These variations are a hallmark of living, cultured foods.

6. Allergens and Sensitivities: Products may contain or come into contact with common allergens, including dairy, wheat, gluten, nuts, and soy. Each member or consumer is responsible for reviewing ingredients and using products according to their own sensitivities or restrictions.

7. Private Membership Association Status: Access to products and services is provided under the protections of the First and Fourteenth Amendments through a Private Membership Association. By joining, you agree that all transactions occur within a private, contractual membership outside state or federal public jurisdiction.
