Water kefir grains? [General]
2013 Jul 29
I make water and milk kefir all the time, and never do the two types touch! Even stored in different areas of my home, one in the kitchen, and the other in my milk kitchen.
I got my milk kefir grains from a woman near Kingston, and my water kefir grains a year or two after from this old european dude. No idea how or where to find him.
I often bring water kefir kits to sell at the market (www.oofmarket.ca) for $5 each: a jar with enough grains to last forever (if you take care of 'em) and instructions. And, I'll usually replace a kit free of charge if you mess it up in the first few weeks. ;-)
Love making mine with figs and oranges. Yum!

Happy to help! I'll bring a few kits this Saturday, and if you can't make it, send me a message through our farms facebook page and let me know when you are heading to the market, and I'll make sure I bring some along for you then. :-)

I'm get an email about once a week from people looking for kefir grains, and I couldn't figure out why. Then I remembered this post!
Our farm no longer attends any farmers markets (we are now a CSA only farm), but there are some other vendors at the Ottawa Organic Farmers Market that should be able to help find what you need. As well, you can try contacting Agape Gardens for grains.
Here's the farmers market website: www.oofmarket.ca

And of course, never hurts to take a peek on Kijiji!

I am looking for a non-milk bred kefir grain, as I'm really, really allergic to dairy. Like...not-even-worth-the-risk allergy.
Does anyone know of a local who would have some? I could order them online, I guess, but I'd prefer to find someone in the area who I could go back to in case I kill the colony.
