When a community moves from screen to shared table, something changes. Conversations become connection. Ideas become shared experiences. Encouragement becomes hugs. This past weekend, members of the Ancestral Table gathered in person for the first time - traveling from multiple states to share real food, stories, and learning around one table. What began online came fully to life.

A new virtual course through University College Cork brings together global experts to explore how traditional food knowledge can shape sustainable communities and meaningful enterprise today.

We’re drowning in diet noise—and losing our connection to real food. In this piece (fresh off Bill’s appearance on the Alex Clark Podcast), we dig into why empowerment comes from understanding, not trends. Learn how ancestral techniques, community, and The Ancestral Table can help you take back your food—and your health.

After a weekend at the Hex Fermentation Festival, we realized something powerful: the Modern Stone Age Kitchen is becoming a “third place”—a welcoming hub of connection, curiosity, and nourishment. Here’s what that means, and why it matters more than ever.

We’re thrilled to be featured on WBOC’s Picnic Day TV spot, celebrating Maryland farmers and local food businesses! Modern Stone Age is proud to showcase our commitment to real, scratch-made food rooted in tradition and community. Watch the full segment and see why supporting local matters more than ever.

At Modern Stone Age, we believe dessert should be joyful and nourishing. In this post, we share how we’re transforming treats using ancestral food prep, real ingredients, and no seed oils, refined sugar, or guilt. Because celebrating with food should never come at the cost of your health—or happiness.

We’re thrilled to introduce the new Modern Stone Age website—a place where our kitchen, food lab, community, and mission all come together under one roof! What started as a small, family-driven passion for real, nourishing food has evolved into a thriving movement, and we couldn’t have done it without you.

With this new site, we’ve streamlined everything—making it easier than ever to explore our offerings, sign up for classes, shop our sourdough creations, and connect with our growing community. Plus, we’re excited to share our Founder’s Video, where Bill and Christina Schindler reflect on our journey, the heart behind our work, and what’s next for Modern Stone Age.
