Join Sarah Owens as she teaches you how to unlock the hows and whys and magic of lacto-fermentation. For those new to the process, lacto-fermentation is the process of fermenting vegetables in a salt-water brine to transform the taste and preserve the seasons. Sauerkraut, pickles, kimchi and miso paste are all common examples. For this workshop we’ll source all the local ingredients from our favorite farms and Sarah will show you the way!
