Lactic Fermentation Workshop with Jo March

Led by the Head of our Creative and Regenerative Kitchen, Josephine, this entry-level workshop aims to introduce participants to the art of fermentation while highlighting its numerous benefits.

The event will commence with an informative talk exploring the origins, benefits, and diverse flavours of fermented foods. Participants will gain insights into how fermentation supports gut health and overall well-being.

Following the talk, we will apply theory to practice; attendees will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in a hands-on experience. Guided by Josephine, if weather and harvest permits, participants will venture into our permaculture garden to handpick fresh herbs. These carefully selected ingredients will be used to create a delightful lacto-fermented jar, which each participant will take home.

There will be a selection of ferments to taste along the session.

This workshop is designed for adults of all backgrounds, with no prior experience required. Whether you're a novice or enthusiast, this event offers a welcoming environment to learn and explore the world of fermentation.

Don't miss this opportunity to discover the art and science behind fermentation, and take a step towards enhancing your gut health.

We ask participants to bring one medium glass jar, as this helps us to keep the cost of the course down and encourages the re-use of old jars.

Spaces for this workshop are very limited, so we encourage you to book as soon as possible to guarantee your place.
