You will create your own TWO jars of fermenting vegetables from local farms.

Includes a tasting contest! You'll taste and VOTE for incredible concoctions created by local fermenters.
This hands-on workshop will teach you the benefits of fermentation, recipe combinations, and techniques for successful ferments. You'll learn the difference between pickling and fermenting for preserving your harvest. You'll chop vegetables, learn from experts, meet other enthusiasts, and leave with a Fido jar and mason jars packed with local produce.
