Saturday, May 9th | 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM | Surf City Brewing Co.
Put the science into practice! Following our "Mind & Matter" discovery session on Friday night, this hands-on workshop is the "how-to" for inviting beneficial bacteria back into your kitchen. We’re moving from theory to the mason jar, using fresh NC produce and the power of lacto-fermentation to create vibrant, seasonal krauts to your family’s taste. Whether you attended the Friday talk or are just joining us for the craft, you’ll leave with a bubbling jar of fermenting veg and the practical skills to transform raw vegetables into probiotic powerhouses.
Master the Make: Every student will have their own dedicated station to prep, salt, and massage seasonal vegetables into a custom kraut.
Theory to Practice: We’ll bridge the gap between the "Mind & Matter" conversation and your kitchen counter, showing you exactly how to maintain a safe, bubbly environment for your microbes to thrive.
Lacto-Fermentation 101: The specific ratios of salt to vegetable that ensure a crisp, safe, and delicious result every time.
The Golden Rules: Professional best practices to ensure your home ferments stay safe, healthy, and vibrant.
Seasonal Creativity: How to swap ingredients throughout the year to keep your gut health diverse and your palate excited.
Working Jar: A bubbling jar of your hand-prepped seasonal kraut, ready to ferment on your counter under a professional glass weight.
The Blueprint: A simple, foolproof guide with everything you need to recreate the process with any vegetable you find at the market.
