Small Town Cultures Has Got Feeling Human Again in the Bag Launching Single-Serve Pouches Along with their New Look

PLATTSBURGH, NY (Sept. 28, 2026) - While fermented veggie jars are a common sight among refrigerator doors, glass vessels don’t exactly make portable snacking options. Which is why Small Town Cultures decided to bag up its most popular fermented foods into lunch box-worthy 2 oz. single-serve pouches you can take anywhere.

Named among the top trends of the 2026 Fancy Food Show, Small Town Cultures thoughtfully designed the pouches to make probiotic-rich diets more attainable in the brand’s never-ending efforts to help consumers feel human again—which just so happens to be the new motto behind its 2026 refresh paired with a new website and logo. Founder and CEO Cori Deans shares her intention behind the new fermented food format, saying “It’s not about eating perfectly. It’s about making healthy choices easier. Pack the sandwich, add the kimchi, and get on with your day.”

In planning the pouch design, Deans mentions “I've always believed that what you feed your body and what you tell yourself are connected. That's why every pouch has a printed affirmation, so along with a gut-health boost, you're carrying a small reminder that you've got this.”

Small Town Cultures is a 2017 wish that grew from Deans’ desire to simply feel human again after struggling with a chronic autoimmune disease. Experiencing the “feel good” benefits that fermented foods spawned in her own body, Deans dedicated her company to creating fresh, living fermented vegetables with a flavor profile that people would actually be excited to eat… something she found missing at grocery stores and even specialty health food markets.

While Small Town Cultures is transitioning from its discontinued glass jar ferments that have been carried across over 1000 national retail stores, the brand is eager to build on that success by seeking retail partners willing to make room for the new pouches. Anyone on the journey to feel human again can now order 10-packs of Living Kimchi, Turmeric Kimchi, Sauerkraut, Fermented Onions, or even all four variations in a Mixed Bag of Ferments from ifeelhuman-again.com ranging between $19.92 - $24.90 per package.
