GEM Cultures, Inc.

Greetings from Washington,

GEM Cultures is entering our 32nd year in business! We are a family owned and operated business started by our folks Betty and Gordon in 1980. We are continuing to care for the very same cultures they cared for, so you too can enjoy these fresh cultures and share them.

Please be aware that fresh cultures cannot be shipped in the extreme heat. During the hot summer months, the bread leavens, the dairy cultures, Kombucha and Seed Miso will not be shipped until cooler weather. These periods will vary depending on where you live. To be sure if we are shipping fresh cultures to your area during the summer, you can email us (gemculture@juno.com) and leave us your zip code.  We will use this to check the temperatures in your area. When we see it is reasonably cool, we will ship these cultures once again. We continue to ship fresh cultures to parts of the cooler Northwest year round, (you can email us to check on your area).

Occasional deep freezes can also cause delays, as we pride ourselves on the "FRESH" in fresh cultures.  The dry cultures such as the Tempeh starter and Natto, the Koji starters and Tofu coagulants, as well as the kitchen items can be shipped all year round.
 

Something New at GEM!  We have had many requests for Water Kefir Grains.  We can now say, "Yes, we do carry Fresh Water Kefir Grains!"

We do hope to accept Credit cards and PayPal in the near future. Hopefully, that will be more helpful for those of you who are leading busy lives. However, at this time we are currently only able to accept Personal checks or Money orders.

For those of you just learning about us and all those who have been long time customers (and friends) of Betty and Gordon, we thank you and look forward to serving you.

Here's to your good health, Lisa & Russ Dunham.
