Ferments, Family and a Legacy of Cabbage
At 21, Blaise caught the fermentation bug and founded Gaga’s, aiming to make live ferments a staple in Australia. He and his wife Annie run the business together, alongside close family, producing some of the country’s favourite fermented foods.
Their journey began at university, where they studied food science and food systems. Disillusioned by the ultra-processed, sterile world of shelf-stable products, they became obsessed with living foods. Discovering the magic, flavour and function of ferments.
Born from a legacy of cabbage farming by Blaise's great-grandfather, Michael 'Gaga' Tobin, our brand is a testament to the power of family, tradition, and the simple art of fermentation.
We refuse to use plastic packaging
Wherever possible Gaga's is committed to using alternatives to plastic. You'll notice all our products are sold in glass jars & bottles. From 2020 we also made the change to paper labels across our entire range.
We use high-quality Australian-made glass jars and bottles. We encourage you to repurpose these containers at home—use them for storing spices, keeping food in the fridge, or your own at-home ferments. They’re made to be useful long after the contents are gone.
Full-Circle Sustainability
At Gaga's, we embrace a full-circle approach to sustainability. Every bit of green waste from our kitchen is sent back to the farm. This not only recycles nutrients but also supports our commitment to organic farming practices, helping us grow healthier, more robust crops.
