Berkey water is the perfect solution for non-chlorinated water called for in a fermentation brine!

Continue to water your plants with Berkey water, and you'll notice your plants will flourish! After all, water is returned to its freshest state with a Berkey Filter.

Make your own Berkey Rosewater for a fraction of the cost in stores! The benefits of this solution include; soothing irritated skin, balancing your skin's pH, and reducing redness. Can you say skincare trifecta!?
25. Hummingbird feeder
Our sweet feathered friends are extremely susceptible to contaminants and chemicals found in many water sources. Use Berkey water in place of tap in your feeder, to ensure your homemade nectar is free from harmful contaminants like Chromium 6 and PFOAs. We recommend boiling a 4:1 water to sugar ratio to emulate the nectar found in the wild.
