Gut Health Series

Updated From Catalog - Individual Classes

In these three hands-on workshops, participants will learn not only the many benefits of consuming fermented foods, but also how to make them at home with confidence. Through guided instruction and hands-on practice, you will gain a deeper understanding of the
fermentation process, learn practical techniques for successful fermenting, and create your own delicious,
probiotic-rich foods. Each class includes samples of fermented products, step-by-step recipes, and your own hand-prepared
creations to take home. Participants will leave with the knowledge, skills, recipes, and fermented foods needed to continue exploring this traditional and rewarding practice in their own kitchens.
