All traditional medicine cultures know that the first step to good health begins with digestion.

In Chinese medicine, the element of late summer is earth and it's the perfect time to contemplate and fine-tune how we nourish ourselves.

The Art of Fermentation

One-Day Class: Sunday, August 12
10am – 2:30pm

This is a perfect balance to the Digestive Wellness class as fermented foods are a staple to good health. Learn to make delicious lacto-fermented foods in this hands-on workshop. Fermentation is a traditional way of food preparation that not only preserves the harvest but also yields greater nourishment, a healthier digestive system, and thus increased vitality. We will make kimchi, brined garlic, lacto-fermented beets and ginger carrots as well as fermented and cultured beverages including kombucha, honey wine and sodas that are good for you. You will leave with the skills necessary to begin lacto-fermenting foods at home.

This class will be taught by community herbalist, Suzanna Stone

Herbal teas will be provided at all the one day workshops. Please pack a bag lunch.

Fee for the class is $75. Deposit $30.
