The spot billing itself as your “friendly neighborhood beneficial bacteria emporium” will bid farewell permanently on March 31. Chef Aaron Adams explained on Instagram that the business was labor-intensive and not profitable enough to be sustainable. However, fans can take solace in the fact that Adams is planning a new conceptâone that he says will make devotees “cry tears of joy” when it is revealedâand that the Fermenter brand will live on in the form of “products and classes and other stuff.”
