Farming For Life, located at 915 E Ninth Street in Rochester, could make your healthy start to the new year a little easier to digest, with their gut-healthy food and drinks. 

Owner Joe Gady has been fermenting probiotic foods and beverages for almost two decades. From his dozens of European crocks in his certified kitchen on Ninth, Gady  produces nothing but organic, nutrient dense products.

His passion in organic farming and fermentation has changed lives and diets across the state of Indiana. 

Gady discovered that fermenting fresh, organic vegetables increased their nutritional value as much as ten percent. The health benefits from including just one bite of fermented foods with each meal is said to help everything from arthritis, acid reflux, migraines and more. 

Whereever he goes, Gady always has around a dozen handouts on him about the many health problems caused by an imbalance in the gut flora. Those curious about Farming For Life walk away from the store with free samples, and if Gady's there, a whole new understanding about gut health. 

Farming For Life is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10am-4pm.
