Fermentation is great for gut health, preserving excess garden produce, and adding flavor to your diet. This workshop is hands-on and will share the process of lacto-fermentation and how to do it step by step. Your Instructor Edith will cover:

• Overview of the Lacto-fermentation process
• How to ferment safely and what to watch out for
• Basic equipment to acquire
• Hands-on making of Sauerkraut, Kimchi and Kombucha

• Overview of other simple ferments to try
• Tastings of these and other fermented products

Leave with a jar of Sauerkraut or kimchi, a kombucha SCOBY, recipes, and the knowledge to make much more at home.

Most equipment and materials are provided, but please bring a few wide-mouth clean glass jars for your products.

Our weekly farmer’s market will be in full swing during your workshop, so it’s worth arriving a little early to check out the stalls and maybe buy some fresh produce.
