Local Culture and Super Belly – Bend

Sarah Frost-McKee and Paul Trendler have created a one-of-a-kind business in Bend, Super Belly Ferments, the only probiotic dressing company on the market.

Partners for 16 years and raising two children, Sarah and Paul yearned to make the perfect sauce a way to share the health benefits of naturally fermented and probiotic foods with others.

“Our goal is to provide everyday-pour-on-everything condiments, and all-day-drinking beverages with strong nutritional and microbial foundations,” Sarah says.

Super Belly Ferments’ dressings and drinks fit many dietary lifestyles.

“All of our dressings are wild fermented, blended with pure avocado oil, and follow strict ingredient guidelines to support community members with vegan, keto, paleo, Whole30 and autoimmune-protocol type diets,” Sarah says.

In addition, the pair founded Local Culture, which produces fermented krauts, kimchi, sauces, tonic and small-batch fermented olives.
