Fermentation is and has always been an important part of a healthy diet. We have lost many of the traditional fermented foods that would have been part of our diet. Come and visit us and learn how to put these foods back into your familys diet.
In this afternoon practical workshop, Penny Allen will show you how to make Sauerkraut, Kombucha and Water Kefir. You will leave with a jar of your very own sauerkraut and starter cultures for Kombucha and Kefir. Penny will demistify and remove the fear from making your own fermented foods in your kitchen at home.
