Fermentation 101 Workshop

SUMMARY: This will be a small group workshop (BEGINNER LEVEL) with plenty of opportunities to ask questions. Be prepared for a hands-on experience, where you will learn as we go, step-by-step. We will discuss fermentation science, food safety, modifications, and health benefits. We will enjoy a sampling of Twisted Carrot Farm ferments. All supplies will be provided!

WHAT YOU'LL TAKE HOME:

You will go home with your own ferment that you prepare yourself during the workshop. This includes a quart-sized mason jar, airlock lid, and a glass weight. You will be able to choose from a selection of raw vegetables to process for your ferment. Ingredients will be sourced from our farm and other local farms. We will also be sending everyone home with an 8oz fermented product from our menu to enjoy while you wait for yours to ferment at home!

AFTER CARE:

Before signing up, make sure that you will be able to provide the proper "after care" at home for your ferment following the workshop. You will need to keep a DAILY eye on your ferment for the duration of the fermentation process (minimum five days is recommended). You must be able to store your ferment between 65-75 degrees during that time. We will provide you with detailed instructions on how to finish up the fermentation process at home, and we will be available to answer questions and provide guidance as needed following the workshop.

PAYMENT AND CANCELLATIONS:

Please make sure you will be able to attend before submitting payment, as we will not be issuing refunds or transfers for cancellations UNLESS we are able to fill your spot. You are also welcome to send someone in your place, if you run into any last minute issues. If you are unable to attend and we are not able to issue you a refund or transfer, you will still be able to come pick up your workshop materials at a later date. This must be scheduled in advance to ensure all materials are available for you when you arrive!
