Answer is- they grow EVERYWHERE. the trick is getting the ones that are good to out grow the ones that are bad. Once a family had this(and they had no idea), they sort of continued to have it. An exmple is a family that has a special “stiring stick”. When the stir the booze it works and when they dont, it dosent. The stick itself has groves and holes where the bacteria grow and they unknowingly inoculate it. Im assuming you meant ferment as in beer.
