Fermented Plant Extract is made with love on a small farm near Paonia Colorado using natural probiotic farming practices. This farm has been operating under the direction of Miles Filippelli since 2016 for the purpose of producing high quality plant inputs and the Fermented Plant Extracts product line.

Lactobacillus bacteria are saprophytes, meaning they are decomposers, they break down organic matter. This trait is harnessed in the production of Fermented Plant Extracts where lactobacillus are fed specific nutrient dense food sources for the purpose of breaking down plant compounds and extracting them into a liquid form.

Why Use?

All the information we have about fermenting your own extracts suggests that you should start with the part of the plant that you wish to grow. For instance, if you wish to get faster vegetative growth you would ferment fast growing green leaves to feed to your plants. However, if you wished to grow bigger flowers, you should ferment flowers to feed to your plants.

Lactobacillus varieties are:

• Ubiquitous, meaning they are everywhere!
• Facultative or surviving in both aerobic and anaerobic environments.
• Microaerophilic, which is biology speak for preferring environments with less oxygen than typical environmental air - like in soil.
• Rod shaped bacillus means “wand” or “small staff”- the “magic wand” because fermentation has an alchemical nature of transmuting raw materials into more nutritious valuable preparations.
• Heterofermentative translates to producing a variety of outputs including nutrients, CO2, yeasts, acids, and carbohydrates, which plants crave.
• Antipathogenic in biology can mean that effective and beneficial microbes outcompete and overcome “the bad guys,” or pathogenic microbes, often present in decomposition.

“Fermentation with lactobacillus offers a natural means to modify nutritional and flavor properties of foods, and strains have crucial effects on it.”
