Fermenting Basics

Join us for a hands-on demonstration of home-scale vegetable fermenting- a simple, safe and healthy way to preserve vegetables. You’ll learn about lacto-fermentation, an ancient and largely forgotten food way that was important not only to preserve vegetables, but also to create probiotic rich foods to promote gut health and to break down vegetables to increase the bioavailability of vitamins and nutrients that are more digestible. We will answer any questions and help troubleshoot your ferment failures and you’ll get to take some fermented vegetables home.

PARTICIPANTS SHOULD BRING: a knife, cutting board and a glass jar or fermenter of your choice to hold a pint of vegetables.

Tickets are $16 for general admission, $14 for owners, $25 for couples, and $10 for anyone who doesn’t want to take vegetables home. They can be purchased here.
