In the heart of Wilderlandia was a humble volcano known as Mt. Theophagy, and Mt. Theophagy is, in many ways, responsible for all of life in Wilderlandia, and beyond. You see, it emitted little cream colored poofs of VOG (volcanic off gassing, for those who haven’t yet had the privilege of spending time with a volcano) and these little poofs of VOG were heavy laden, not with sulfuric acid and carbon monoxide like most volcanoes; but, being a most benevolent volcano, Mt. Theophagy emitted lovely and complex poofs of yeasts; and yeast, as surely you must know, is a single cell fungi so tiny that a microscope must be used to witness it.

Now, many moons later, things have changed. Many have forgotten the beauty, sacredness and interconnected nature of life. Zipping around from one distraction to the next, we loose touch with our food, the flowers, the trees, the animals and ourselves; but some who remember remain. We walk in this world with Wilderlandia in our hearts, a song & prayer on our lips and a twinkle in our eyes. Wherever you are on your journey, there is always room for one more in Wilderlandia...

Fermentation is a special love of Marissa's, having been fairy dusted enough to study with many ridiculously knowledgeable folks over the years! In 2008, Marissa turned her back on the civilized life for good, & sauntered boldly into the forest with her children, goats, chickens and her trusty cat. There she learned many difficult lessons, overcame unbelievable challenges, and fell in with a group of Radical Faeries from Short Mountain Sanctuary, where she met (& fell in loving awe with) Sandor Katz, an amazing human & the heart behind the most current Fermentation Revival.
