Andrew Faust lived completely off the grid for seven years in rural West Virginia. While living without refrigerators or freezers, he learned about natural food storage and fermentation methods which increase nutrition and vitality. Currently living in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Faust continues to produce his own homemade ferments and sprouts from a multitude of grains and beans, including whole-grain beers, sauerkraut, kimchee and kombucha. He has made sourdough for farmers markets, local restaurants and students, and has produced kimchee on a large-scale for the Flack Family farm. As an avid educator on the health benefits of raw dairy, pastured meats and fermented whole foods, Mr. Faust makes learning about these ancient culinary arts enjoyable and accessible to a wide range of audiences. Andrew Faust offers Edible and native Landscaping services in NYC and creates self-sufficient Ecological designs for individuals, cooperative communities and farms.
