- Here you can find my starter cultures, fermenting jars, and more! I have everything you need to get started. I sell many of these items here in my store. For everything else, you'll get directed to Amazon.com (among others) where you can purchase those items there.
  
  I offer free shipping to USA's lower 48 states for orders placed on my site that are over $20!
  
  Don't know where to start? Subscribe to my weekly newsletter and I'll send you my free "Getting Started Guide" eBook.
  
  Please contact us if you have any questions.

  A small strainer (Only if using Kefir Grains, not needed for Easy Kefir)
  
  Rubber spatula
  
  Milk: either dairy or non-dairy
