Welcome!

Hello! My name is Kaitlynn. I'm a microbiologist and together with my husband, Jon (he's the photographer here) we are Cultured Guru! We’re all about natural living, nourishing foods, and fermentation! We love teaching people how to have a holistic view of the microbial ecosystems that shape our foods, lives and planet. My hope is that we can remove the mystery of microorganisms through education, food, and modern imagery so that everyone can embrace microorganisms as our necessary partners in life! We’re on a mission to make microbes, gut health and microbe-made foods approachable, accessible, easy, and enjoyable. Come enrich your ecosystem with us!
