Fermentation Course

7 September 2024, 10:00 – 15:00

Willowbrook Farm, Hampton Gay, Kidlington OX5 2QQ, UK

Fermentation has been used as a way of preserving foods for millennia and the process is used to make many of our favourite food and drink including cheese, chocolate, wine and coffee! With the discovery of the gut microbiome in more recent times, fermented foods are now known to have many health benefits. They can also help save energy and food waste by increasing the longevity of food.

During the workshop, you will learn about the variety of fermented foods available, how to use them and the many health benefits these nutrient rich foods can offer.

This will be a hands-on course where you will get to have a go at making kimchi and sauerkraut or a jar of seasonal fermented vegetables from a choice of organic locally grown produce and spices! You will also learn about a variety of fermented drinks including kombucha and kefir with demonstrations and make-your-own kits to take home! We will provide you with jars, live cultures to take home and lots of tasters.

You will learn how to make:

• Sourdough Starter
• Sauerkraut
• Kimchi
• Kombucha
• Milk Kefir
• Garlic, Lemon or Ginger Honey Ferment.

By the end of the course, you will have the skills and knowledge to be able to make delicious fermented food and drink from the comfort of your own home.
