Drifter Ferments

Great find. The Ferment Flight was a great introduction to all their wares. We also picked up a bag of their cultured crackers, vegan and gluten free (GF) - amazing. The Nicaragua pour of was dark without being bitter - rich and smooth. So glad we took the detour to stop in.

I love Drifters Ferments. Tara is a fermentation artist - the real deal - and everything here is delicious. Favorites: the vegetable crackers, fermented cashew spread, and the fermented veggies (especially Golden Dandy). The chai lattes are to die for, and the sourdough always looks amazing. Also an awesome, thoughtfully curated grocery selection (yes, she even has natto!). Mindful local sourcing, great vibes, and honestly my favorite place to eat in the area. Highly recommend!!!

Very unfriendly, wouldn't give my wife back her change. When we got home, we had to throw out two $18 loaves of bread because they were RAW... How do you sell raw bread? Incredibly disappointed. Highly recommend you shop elsewhere.

Their buckwheat brownie was awesome! Also great coffee cant wait to come back. Oh and the two women working there were super sweet and happy to answer all my questions.

There is really no place like Drifter, just as there is no one exactly like the singular Tara who runs it. This is a place where nearly every part of every meal has been handmade and specially prepared in advance by the owner, whose passion for and erudition about food, especially of the fermented kind, infuses every ingredient with meaningful content, flavorful nuance, and nutritional richness. Tara is the author and illustrator of a book, Fermentation on Wheels, based on her experience teaching about fermentation from a bus she lived in across the country. Tara cares deeply about sustainability, local agriculture, the nutritional properties of food, and the complex interplay of quality ingredients with the human biome. I never really liked tempeh much before eating here; now I have to ea
