A Living Starter Culture — Not a Bottled Dairy Drink

This listing is for live milk kefir grains, the reusable starter culture used to make homemade milk kefir.

It is not a ready-to-drink kefir beverage. It is not shipped in liquid milk. The grains should be opened promptly after arrival and placed into fresh milk.

No cold pack is required for the normal delivery window.

About A2 Milk

These grains are maintained with pasteurized A2 milk before packing.

A2 milk is still dairy milk and contains lactose and milk proteins. This product is not lactose-free and is not suitable for anyone with a milk allergy.

Fresh Packing & Shipping

Each order is prepared and packed fresh.

• Packed-On date is marked on the package
• Use-By date is marked on the package
• Ships by tracked delivery
• Ships Monday through Thursday to help avoid weekend delays
• Continental U.S. only
• Not shipped to Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, U.S. territories, or internationally
• Best results come from starting the grains soon after delivery

Quick Start Instructions

Full instructions are included with the keepsake card.

Place the live kefir grains into a clean glass jar.
Add about 1/2 cup of fresh dairy milk per 1 teaspoon of grains.
Cover loosely with a coffee filter or breathable cloth and secure with a rubber band. Do not seal tightly.
Leave at room temperature, about 68–77°F, for 12–24 hours.
Strain the kefir, move the grains into fresh milk, and repeat.

After shipping, live grains may need 1–3 small batches to settle, refresh, and become active again. This is normal for a living starter culture.

Care Tips

• Do not use hot milk or hot water
• Do not seal the jar tightly during fermentation
• Keep grains away from direct sunlight
• Keep the grains in fresh milk between batches
• Refrigerate finished kefir after fermentation
• A quick strain with stainless steel is fine

On Arrival

Open the package promptly and place the grains into fresh milk.

Healthy milk kefir grains are usually creamy white to pale yellow and may smell pleasantly tangy.

Do not use if you see fuzzy mold, pink or orange discoloration, or notice a rotten smell.

Important Allergy Notice

Contains milk.

The grains are maintained with dairy milk and dusted with dry milk powder. This product contains lactose and milk proteins and is not suitable for anyone with a milk allergy.

Important Note

This is a live natural starter culture. Size, color, texture, and amount may vary slightly.

Homemade fermented foods are prepared and consumed at the buyer’s own discretion. People who are pregnant, elderly, immunocompromised, chronically ill, or preparing food for infants should use extra caution with homemade fermented foods.

A COLLECTOR'S TOKEN COMES WITH YOUR ORDER

Every Tiny Bee Garden™ order includes a small thank-you that isn't printed, poured, or planted — it's numbered.

The Founding Garden Edition token is a little disc bearing our bee, made by hand in my Ohio home studio and sealed under resin to protect its number. On the back, each one carries the year and its own edition number — written by my hand, issued once, never repeated. A card gets given away and seeds get planted, but the token is the piece that stays with you.

Keep your tokens together and watch your collection grow as you return to the garden. And returning is its own small reward: with every order you'll receive a thank-you code for 15% off your next visit, so your garden keeps growing, season after season.

For those who return again and again, a quiet honor waits — the title of Founding Gardener, with a hand-signed certificate and a little surprise, kept for the ones who were here at the beginning and believed in small handmade things made with the heart.

Tokens are complimentary keepsakes and have no cash value. Small part — please keep away from small children."
