Today was the first time I've been to this little shop and I was thoroughly impressed! I took a Kefir and Yogurt class by the owner. She had an amazing knowledge of fermentation. She gave us history, health benefits, alternative methods for preparation and answered any questions thoroughly from all of us that participated in the class. We all went away with heirloom cultures to prepare our Kiefer. I was so excited that we got to taste yogurt and Kiefer in different stages of fermentation. We even got to taste yogurt and Kiefer that had been fermented a bit more and she made cheese, it was

Cutest store ever!! Came in looking for a beer kit for my Dad and they had a variety of fantastic options. The person at the front was SUPER nice and helpful and packed it together perfectly for me. All the adorable jars and goods made me want to pickle everything in my kitchen. This place is the best for presents for yourself of others! Will definitely return:)

Goodness me, mark my words
EVERYONE should visit preserved.
Coming here might put you at risk
for leaving the city, calling it quits.
Let me explain how it will go,
you'll make some jam and before you know
your pantry is stocked with things you've made,
your attachment to technology will fade.
You darn your socks, knit a hat,
go to Craigslist and list your flat.
Life is too fast-paced in the Bay,
you become obsessed with getting away.
You sell your computer, quit your job.
You learn to make an oven from cob.
You move to the woods, live off the land,
your partner leaves "this is

I love this little shop! I went there yesterday to get some canning supplies to make sauce out of my bumper crop of tomatoes. The owner was very helpful and even showed my a couple DIY tricks to make this new adventure more likely a success. I also picked up a few sourdough tools that were on my Amazon list, plus another banneton (Mr. Bezos doesn't need any more of my money!)
I can't wait to start making cheese, they everything for that jouney too :)

Obvi our experience here is very different from that of the other reviewers.
We signed up for a marmalade class and for $60 per person (for a demo class, no hands on) we had high hopes and were looking forward to the day. Sadly, it was a big phail.
We thought going to a class at a place called "Preserved" would be down home, DIY, but instead it was a 2-hour infomercial about the instructors book ("The Bible" and "only real book" on jam making), and the shop's products "the $$$$$ copper pot sold here is the ONLY effective pot for this", the best funnel

What a great little shop. I've been pickling home grown peppers and pickles for a couple years and heard about this place only recently. I was on the mission to do some sauerkraut to cap off some home made pastrami I was working on, and decided to check out this shop. What a gem. I wish I went earlier. So many great things and it's local. Julia was a pleasant and knowledgeable person and helped me get a few things along with some advice. I will surely go back and am pretty pumped on getting into a couple classes there. It's places like this that make a community and I hope they will

Awesome Place!
I went in to get their starter kit for growing my own Kombucha for just $40, and ended up leaving spending a lot more. All great stuff! I would recommend everyone goes there and talks to Julia! She knows her stuff, and even has samples to try.
I'll be back when I'm ready to make some pickles!

My husband and I took a sourdough bread making class here. The class was very fun and informative and we got to take home two jars of sourdough starter and two sets of dough to bake the next morning. The first got a little burnt on the bottom but was still great otherwise (we cut the burnt part off and the loaf was delicious). We made some adjustments for the next loaf (put the pan one shelf higher in the oven, added a pizza stone on the shelf bellow to catch some of the heat coming from the bottom) and also made a deeper slash on the loaf and honestly it looks like something you would buy at an

Took a ricotta and paneer cheese making class with my wife here over the weekend. I love to cook so my brother bought me the class for Christmas, and it was a great present!
The class was informative, interesting and importantly, broke things down well so I feel very confident in going home and making ricotta on a regular basis! Really cool stuff!

Do you even know three methods to store the sauerkraut you just started fermenting?
Preserved sure does. They have multiple gadgets to help make your fermentation fantastic. Fear not fans of ceramic crocks, mason jars, and other homesteading supplies. This place is practically your mecca. Also they have amazing supplies to help you mash, pulverize, strain, and mix to your heart's content. Are you perhaps curious and don't know how to start saving money by making your own jams, miso, pickles, or kimchi? Well that is where their workshops come in to save the day!
Come check this place

So happy we decided to venture south on Telegraph to visit this shop. We went to investigate Kombucha making classes and spent a solid 10 min with one of the owners. The space is small and intimate but they have really cool culinary cooking concepts products and utensils. Books and how too guides abound. But the warmth of the owner, the eclectic nature of the offerings with a specific foodie home grown orientation was very refreshing.
Armed with our newly purchased citrus press and listing of upcoming Kombucha classes, we vowed to return at scheduled time signed up and raring to go.

It's like dying and going to heaven. I walked in just to grab a kombucha to go with my BSB's chicken salad and ended up wanting to buy half the store. I was impressed at the breadth of resources and materials for any preserving project and love being able to roam around in a store to learn more. I would practically just go there to hang out....like a library..
Elizabeth was gracious and kind answering all my questions about different products in the fridge (coconut milk "yoghurt:" yummy!) and was so courteous going back and forth between me and the other two customers there

I notified the owner 4 days before a class I had paid for that something came up (family death) and I couldn't attend. I didn't ask for a refund just a credit toward a future class. She responded the following evening via phone msg that their policy doesn't allow for this -- I should give the class to a friend. I had attended a previous class, receive their newsletter...but now with this experience, I will never support their business again.
