Our 2026 Fermentation Immersion is a 56-hour educational program exploring traditional and modern fermentation techniques, food preservation, flavor, and food safety. Through presentations and hands-on learning, participants will learn about fermentation processes found all around the world, from fermented veggies, to miso, and beyond. The curriculum will focus on building a deep relationship with the microscopic world; utilizing all our senses; tuning into seasonality and the local landscape; and exploring tradition, cuisine, and cultural identity. We’ll also discuss metaphorical concepts, such as how fermentation can help reclaim the food system and find resilience during dark times. Expect to join a community, as we share in potluck meals, tap into creativity, and celebrate your fermentation journey throughout the season. Disclaimer: While fermentation can provide myriad potential health benefits, this is not a health & wellness program. That said, forming connections to cultural heritage, the land, and seasonality are fundamental to human health.
