Learn to collaborate with the microbes that make your foods delicious and your health vibrant.

Expert fermenters Kirsten and Kathryn come together in this master fermentation class to explain the safe and simple process of how to ferment in your kitchen. You’ll learn about the history, science and health benefits of this ancient craft while exploring a wide variety of techniques used to ferment everything from sauerkraut, kimchi and kvass to pickles and condiments as well as miso and Nordic yogurt (both dairy-based and vegan).

The workshop will be balanced between hands-on classes, garden walks, and demonstrations and plenty of time to taste and discuss our creations. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have the skill and confidence to successfully collaborate with the microbes that transform and enliven your food for extraordinary health and flavor.
