Why I Reach for This Tool

When my hands were too tired or tender to mash kraut the old-fashioned way,
this tamper felt like an extension of my will — not a fight against it.

Heavy enough to do the work.
Shaped to fit both wide-mouth and regular jars.
Beautiful enough to leave on the counter without apology.

Fermentation is partly about creating good conditions —
and this tool helps you do just that: pressing shredded vegetables below the brine line without bruising your spirit in the process.


Details:

  • Material: Acacia wood (naturally durable and eco-friendly)
  • Size: 12" long × 2.5" wide
  • Weight: ~8 oz
  • Fits: Wide and regular mouth mason jars
  • Care: Hand-wash only; condition with food-grade oil occasionally

🌱 Fermentation loves good pressure in the right places. Turns out, so does healing.
