As the garden shifts into autumn and the growing season begins to wind down, it’s the perfect time to preserve the abundance of the harvest. Join Farmer Matt for a hands-on workshop exploring the traditional art of lacto-fermentation as we transform locally grown autumn cabbage into delicious homemade sauerkraut.
You’ll learn the simple process behind lacto-fermentation, one of the most approachable ways to preserve seasonal vegetables using just a few basic ingredients. Matt will walk you through how fermentation works, the role of salt, and how this traditional method transforms fresh cabbage into flavorful sauerkraut with beneficial live cultures.
We’ll also explore autumn-inspired herbs and spices that can be used to create unique flavor combinations, giving you the confidence to experiment with your own ferments as the seasons change. Along the way, you’ll taste fermented sauerkraut and learn practical tips for successful fermentation at home.
Each participant will create their own handcrafted jar of autumn sauerkraut, choosing the herbs and spices they’d like to incorporate, and take it home to continue fermenting.
