Event Overview

Join the homesteading revival by learning the traditional art of vegetable fermentation! Fermented foods used to be a staple in homes across the country, and they're enjoying a big comeback in the last few years. Find out how you can enjoy the pleasures of simple, delicious ferments in this hands-on class.

We'll talk about why fermented foods are such an important part of your everyday diet, and how to safely make tasty, nutritious ferments in your own kitchen. You'll have a chance to taste homemade versions of sauerkraut, that robust German standard, and beet kvass, a sparkling Russian juice drink.

Then we'll dive right into making both.

Dabblers will leave with jars of kvass and kraut they've made themselves, a set of easy-to-follow recipes (including a generic “vegetable ferment” recipe), and the confidence to experiment in their own kitchens.
