Midwinter Greetings from South River Miso

The days are growing longer and the sun is getting stronger here in New England! Winter is a good time for us to make miso in western Massachusetts.

Inside the production room, the aromatic beans and grains are being cooked by woodfire in a large cauldron, while outside the sun glints off the cold snow.
