Hands-On Fermentation Series
Embrace the thrilling world of microbes and fermented products through Community Cultures workshops. Educator, Trevor Ring, will guide you through the ways that different cultures can preserve food. Participants will engage in hands-on communal learning by preparing and tasting ferments including kimchi, sauerkraut, kombucha, water kefir, country wine, mead, miso and more.
You will learn about the health benefits, history and background of fermented products, and walk away with jars and cultures to continue fermenting at home. Virtual workshops utilize PowerPoint, handouts, and lecture, as well as guided demos. By the end of the series, Trevor will have inspired in you the confidence to bring unique flavors and bubbly excitement to family and friends from your own kitchen.
