Dawn Story, Founder

Dawn is an aspiring homesteader, community food advocate, permaculture enthusiast, tree-hugger, green witch, passionate citizen and bonafide fermentation freak. She is also the founder of the New Moon Alchemy line of herbal medicines, teas and elixirs, and Farmstead Ferments artisanal and seasonal fermented foods. She seeks to live in balance and harmony with the cycles of nature and is inspired to create right livelihood that allows her to move with nature's ebbs and flows, as well as her own. Dawn relishes the opportunity to experience these ideas, products and practices with friends, family and community, preserving the past as a bridge to the future.

Brian Neitzel, Kitchen/Farm Mgr

Brian’s love of the outdoors was seeded by his rural Wisconsin upbringing wherein farming and preserving the harvest were a part of his family’s daily life. Today, Brian enjoys combining his farmstead wisdom with his food-artistry passion and inspires both the produce and the products being offered by Farmstead Ferments naturally-fermented foods and brews. He is the jack of all trades, helping with everything from production and distribution to building, planting, and harvesting.
