About the Keepsake Card

This order includes a Tiny Bee Garden™ collectible keepsake instruction card.

The front features the "Milk Kefir Grains" design from The Garden of Grains™ / Grains of Life™ collection. The back includes starting and care guidance for the milk kefir grains.

Each card is hand-finished: sealed with a "Tiny Bee Garden" wax seal and signed by the maker. The wax seal is applied by hand, so no two are exactly alike — small variations in shape, thickness, and impression are part of the character of a hand-sealed piece. Cards are numbered within their collection, and the wax seal and signature mark each one as an original hand-finished keepsake rather than a plain printed insert.

The care booklet offers additional starting tips and a gentle introduction to the Tiny Bee Garden™ collections.

These are printed keepsakes and informational items, not store gift cards.

A COLLECTOR’S TOKEN COMES WITH YOUR ORDER

Every Tiny Bee Garden™ order includes one small, hand-numbered Founding Garden Edition token featuring our bee design. Each is made by hand in our small Ohio home studio and sealed under resin to help protect its number.

Each token number is issued only once by Tiny Bee Garden™. Keep your tokens with your collectible cards and watch your garden collection grow.

Collect eight Tiny Bee Garden™ tokens, then send us an eBay message with one clear photo showing all eight. We will send you a $10 Tiny Bee Garden eBay coupon for a future eligible purchase of $25 or more.

It is our thank you for returning to the garden—and a little invitation to discover what is blooming next.

Tokens are complimentary gifts, have no cash value, and are not redeemable for money. Tokens issued in 2026 may be redeemed for the coupon through December 2027. This program may be changed or discontinued at any time; tokens already issued will be honored through their expiry. Small part—please keep away from small children.

About the Kefir Grains

These are live milk kefir starter culture grains traditionally used to ferment dairy milk into homemade milk kefir. The grains are reusable when cared for properly. These grains were maintained with pasteurized A2 milk to grow in a jar.

Quick Start Instructions

1. Place the grains in a clean glass jar.

2. Add about 1/2 cup fresh dairy milk per 1 teaspoon of grains.

3. Cover loosely with a cloth, coffee filter, or other breathable cover. Do not seal tightly.

4. Leave at room temperature, about 68–77°F, for 12–24 hours.

5. Strain the kefir, move the grains into fresh milk, and repeat.

After shipping, live kefir grains may need 1–3 small batches of milk to settle and begin fermenting normally again. This is normal for a live starter culture. There is an instruction included in a parcel how to start fermenting your own kefir.

Care Tips

· Do not use hot milk or hot water.

· Do not seal the jar tightly during fermentation.

· Keep grains in fresh milk between batches.

· Refrigerate finished kefir after fermentation.

· A quick strain with stainless steel is fine.

On Arrival

Open the package promptly and place the grains into fresh milk. Typical milk kefir grains are usually creamy white to pale yellow and may smell pleasantly tangy.

Do not use the grains if you see fuzzy mold, pink or orange discoloration, or notice a rotten odor.

Important Note

This is a live natural starter culture. Size, color, texture, and amount may vary slightly. Homemade fermented foods are prepared and consumed at the buyer’s own discretion.
