00:00We are all about creating a space that lowers the cost and the risk to create a new product

00:08and that new product creates that new business and that new business creates those jobs.

00:14Everything from sort of your Asian condiments, your miso and your gochujang all the way through

00:19to your wine, whiskey, beer and cider and then we get into our dairy products so your cheeses

00:24and your kefirs and your yogurts and then your sauerkraut and your kimchi and all your

00:31different vegetable ferments and your kombucha. So actually the list is kind of limitless and right

00:38now I think our diet is composed of about 30% of what you're eating is actually fermented foods

00:45and they're anticipating by 2032 that will be up to 40% because everybody's realizing how important

00:51it is to feed that microbiome in you to make sure it's healthy as well.

00:56So you expect the demand for this one to grow over time?

00:59Exactly and when we were doing our international scoping work looking at what was happening

01:04globally and talking to food incubators about what worked and what didn't so that we could set

01:09ourselves up on the best foot they said the first thing you're going to do is run out of space very

01:13quickly so hoping that the block next door stays empty because you just never know.

01:21Yeah, I'm sure.

01:23Just wait for that one.

01:24I'm sure you can follow me.

01:27I hope you're doing that.

01:28I'll do it soon for now.

01:30So I'm not sure.

01:30I'll take my best off.

01:33I've got it soon.

01:34I've got it soon.

01:35I'll do it soon.

01:36I'll take my best off.

01:38I'll take that one.

01:40I can come back to it.

01:42I'll take my best off your name.
