Fermented vegetables
Food-grade 5-gallon buckets with gasketed lids. A 25 lb lot is one bucket, 50 lb is two, and 100 lb is four. Each bucket is labeled with the item, net weight, pack date, and best-by date.
Liquids
Food-grade 5-gallon kegs. A 25 lb lot is about 3 gallons (one keg), 50 lb is about 6 gallons (two kegs), and 100 lb is about 12 gallons (three kegs). We confirm the container with you when you order.
Miso
Food-grade 5-gallon buckets. A 25 lb lot is one bucket, 50 lb is two, and 100 lb is four. Miso is dense and keeps well; we pack it tight and label the age and pack date.
Tempeh
Vacuum-sealed 1-lb blocks in an insulated case, kept frozen. A 25 lb lot is 25 blocks, 50 lb is 50 blocks, and 100 lb is 100 blocks.
Storage before handoff
Every bulk lot is kept cold or frozen at The Crea until you collect it. Fermented vegetables, kombucha, and tempeh are refrigerated or frozen; mustard, hot sauce, vinegar, and miso are held cool. Each container is labeled with the item, net weight, pack date, and best-by date, plus handling notes.
