Come learn the basics of fermenting vegetables. We’ll cover the basic science of fermenting, and how by harvesting yeasts and bacteria’s we can make healthy nutritious foods that will support gut health! Together we’ll make a simple sauerkraut for you to take home. And we’ll even get to taste some delicious, prepared ferments. Bring to this workshop a 500mL wide mouth jar with lid for you to take home your sauerkraut in.
