Enter the vast world of fermented foods, learn about its potential health benefits, and understand how to safely and confidently ferment any vegetable at home. Trevor will guide you through how to make sauerkraut, and students will make their own jar of pickles to ferment at home. You will also learn how to infuse your favorite winter and holiday flavors into your ferments!

Walk away with:
- 1 jar of brined veggies to ferment at home
- 1 bag of inspiration, confidence, curiosity, and understanding that no one is getting botchilism from these foods!

We decided to spend time with family today instead of sell stuff. We could still use small business saturday support though! Taking 1 minute to leave us a nice review is a great way of supporting us! We also offer gift cards, or you could simply sign up for an upcoming workshop or our winter immersion. Spreading the word about these offerings also goes a long way 😊

We have 4 events in December we'll be selling products at before we slow down and nearly pause production / product sales for the winter. Keep your eyes out for those announcements!
