Join us for our last class ever at the tent and dive into the world of food fermentation. Beginners can open the lid on a magical world of kimchi, sauerkraut, sour dough, water kefir, and brine fermented vegetables. Perhaps you want to jump into fermented beverages like kombucha or learn to preserve the garden harvest without canning. You'll learn to preserve the natural way- focusing on fermenting and discover how live foods come to life! You'll leave with your homemade jars (alive and fizzing) and your recipes- inspired to create, experiment, and ferment all on your own! During the class you will get to try various live lacto fermented vegetables- a sauerkraut and another type of fermented seasonal vegetable. We will discuss everything you need to know about fermenting and brewing your own kombucha at home. You will receive your own scoby as well. This class will be taught by Ruthie Baugh from Baugh's Market and Event Venue. Our customer's fell in love with Ruthie during the soap making workshop she taught in April here at Plants of Texas and we are thrilled to welcome her back!
