Join us in our Farm to Table Teaching Center Kitchen and learn about the art of fermentation! This 2.5 hour workshop includes materials and instruction on making kimchi, sauerkraut, and pickled red onions. Fermented foods can aid in digestion, building a healthy immune system, and boost energy. At the end of our workshop, you will leave with your flight of fermented treats and new knowledge and inspiration to continue fermenting and preserving food at home! 

Fermented foods are a great holiday gift!
