Food Fermentation for Health & Flavor, April 20th, 9AM-12PM

Do you like sauerkraut, kimchi, ginger beer, or chocolate? One thing they all have in common is that they are products of fermentation. Whether you are looking to preserve your garden harvest or learn new ways to make healthy and flavorful food, this workshop is perfect for learning about basic fermentation techniques and the scientific basis behind the process. Join Mike Dechter for a morning of learning, tasting homemade fermented foods, and getting some hands on experience making your very own creation to take home. This class will show you everything you need to know to confidently ferment your own food at home.

Cost: $30/participant or $25/Willow Bend members
