Capacity: 8 participants
Cost: $85 per participant
Description: Come learn how to make your own Kimchi and Sauerkraut with Ashley from Sacred Community Nourishment as your guide. Experience the nourishing tradition of lacto-fermentation and how this technique is used to preserve vegetables and extend the harvest, enhance the nutrient value of your food, and promote the growth of healthy gut bacteria and a stronger micro-biome. This is a food craft that connects us more deeply to our food, our environment, and each other. The class is a small number of spots intentionally to create an intimate experience and make sure each participant has time to engage in conversation and ask all the questions they may have.

Learn the basics of lacto-fermentation and the difference between fermentation and pickling along with the stages of fermentation over time.
Understand the role salt plays in fermentation and how to work with salt in formulas to ferment vegetables safely at home.
