Beginner Fermentation

Join fermentation enthusiast and C3 Expert Rob Kelsey to learn about the basics of cultivating your own home fermentations. You will leave with your own jars of fruit, veggies, and beneficial microorganisms that will turn into a switchel, sauerkraut, and honey garlic.

This workshop is intended for adults. Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

Fermented foods may change based on produce availability.
