ALASKA HOMESTEAD: FERMENTING MINI-CLASS

Description

So many vegetables, so little time! So what do we do with them all? Ferment some, of course!

If you’re interested in learning to ferment or if you’re needing a refresher, this fermenting with Alaska veggies class is one you won’t want to miss! Fermenting is one of the best ways to preserve your homegrown goods for winter’s store.

In this class, you will learn about fermenting vegetables including how and what to ferment safely and why it’s not only a great way to preserve your harvest but it’s also excellent for your family’s gut health.

We will meet at the farm on August 19 at 10 am to learn the basics of vegetable fermenting and we will also dig into making fermented drinks like Jun, Kombucha, and Kvass. The best part? This class is hands-on and, together, we will be making a community ferment that you can take home!

What to bring:

• A vegetable to add to the community ferment (ideas: carrots, cabbage, onion, jalapeno, radishes, garlic, cauliflower, beets, celery, sweet peppers). You don’t have to go off of this list – this is just for ideas! If you have something growing in your garden that you want to contribute, bring it! Just bring a bit – we’re all contributing!
• A cutting board & knife
• A quart jar to take your ferment home in

See you there!
