Learn to ferment your favorite seasonal vegetables

Fermenting vegetables is an easy and effective way to preserve and enhance the flavor of your favorite produce, including cabbage, radishes, carrots, peppers, and more. Join Mark Phillips for a hands-on introduction to the simple magic of fermentation using vegetables locally and organically sourced in the Berkshires. Learn the history and science of lactic-acid fermentation, as well as multiple methods for approaching a variety of fermented vegetable recipes (sauerkraut, hot sauce, and kvass). Participants will have the opportunity to taste pre-made ferments during the class and take home a jar of vegetables made in the class and ready for fermentation.This hands-on workshop is limited to ten people. <h4>About Mark:</h4>Mark Phillips lives in Great Barrington, Massachusetts and has taught 30+ fermentation workshops in New England. He spent 4 years working with Hosta Hill, a local producer of sauerkraut, kimchi, and hot sauce, and co-organized the Berkshire Fermentation Festival.
