How plans work
Plans, skipping and gifts, explained
Choose a box size and a rhythm, skip or pause when your jars are still busy, or give a prepaid run of crates as a gift.

What each box size brings
Same cultures, same brewing cards. The difference is how many jars you want going at once.
| Small | Regular | Large | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cultures per crate | 2 | 3 | 5 |
| Ferment kits | None | 1 kimchi or kraut kit | 2 kits |
| Brewing and calendar cards | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Gear | None | Glass weight | Weight, airlock lid and bottles |
| Every 2 weeks | $24.00 | $36.00 | $54.00 |
| Every 4 weeks | $26.00 | $39.00 | $58.00 |
| Every 8 weeks | $28.00 | $42.00 | $62.00 |

Crate price by box size and rhythm · example prices
| Box size | Every 2 weeks | Every 4 weeks | Every 8 weeks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small · 2 cultures | $24.00 | $26.00 | $28.00 |
| Regular · 3 cultures + 1 kit | $36.00 | $39.00 | $42.00 |
| Large · 5 cultures + 2 kits | $54.00 | $58.00 | $62.00 |
Prices include delivery. Example prices for the demo store. Recurring boxes and billing need a WooCommerce subscriptions plugin. Without one, every crate is a one-off order.
How it works
Four steps from crate to first fizz
No equipment to work out and no guessing at salt ratios.
1
Pick a box and rhythm
Small, Regular or Large, every 2, 4 or 8 weeks. Change both from your account later.
2
We pack your crate
Cultures travel in cool packs with a brewing card for each jar, weighed salt and spices.
3
Start your jars
Follow the calendar card: what to start on day one, what to taste, when to bottle.
4
Skip, pause or keep going
Away for a month? Skip the next crate before the cut-off (needs a subscriptions plugin).
Skip, pause or cancel
Crates that fit around your kitchen
Jars still bubbling from last time? These are the controls customers get with a subscriptions plugin.
Skip a crate
Still working through the last one? Skip the next crate before the cut-off and nothing is sent.
Pause for a while
Pause your plan for one to three crates and pick it up again when you are ready.
Cancel any time
No minimum term. Cancel before the next cut-off and no further crates are sent.
Good to know
Recurring boxes and billing need a WooCommerce subscriptions plugin. Without one, every crate is a one-off order. Cut-off days shown here are samples.

Plan questions
Before you choose a plan
Short answers about box sizes, rhythms and gifts.
Can I change my box size later?
Yes. With a subscriptions plugin, switch between Small, Regular and Large for any upcoming crate before the cut-off.
What happens if I skip?
The next crate is not packed or charged, and the plan carries on with the crate after it (needs a subscriptions plugin).
Do gift crates renew?
No. Gift crates are paid once and end after the last crate. The person who receives them can start their own plan afterwards.
Which crate comes first?
The culture you pick under Start with. The next crates rotate through kombucha, kefir and kimchi or kraut.
