As a mother, a daughter, a sister, a friend, and a lover of family, food, nature, peace, kindness, and goodness, to me, Micro Mama’s is like a sphere of goodness… from the integrity of the vision itself to the taste of it on my tongue (and the many detailed processes in between), it is straight-up GOOD. Having shown up to help out one day in 2014, I just can’t help but to keep showing up for the good work, good people, good vision, good purpose, good times, and GREAT kimchi!”

Discover Micro Mama's Process
It all starts with the farmers
We have a commitment to local farmers, with organic integrity. Right here in New Hampshire we have everything we need, and we love to support our own.
How its made
Different from anything you may see along the East of the Mississippi, we don't ferment in plastic. We made a commitment to you from the beginning. Our process involves stainless steel vessels to ensure you get the best quality. While other brands pack their finished products in glass you are not assured that it's not fermented in plastic.
How its packaged
Our commitment to reducing microplastic exposure extends beyond how we make our kimchi to how we package it. Every batch is carefully packed in glass jars to preserve its exceptional quality and flavour, from our kitchen to your fridge.
