Intro to Fermentation

When garden beds overflow and farmers market vegetables start piling up, fermentation can help turn extra produce into something flavorful instead of wasted. This workshop invites you to explore the living process that helps seasonal vegetables last longer while transforming their flavor, texture, and complexity in surprising ways.

Surrounded by late-summer fields and the abundance of the season, Oxbow’s outdoor kitchen offers the perfect setting for hands-on food preservation. Together, we’ll work with vegetables just steps from where they were grown while exploring fermentation in a welcoming space centered around curiosity, shared learning, and community connection
