Culture, Community & Bacterial Love with Melanie Furman

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!


Discover the ancient art of fermentation and learn how to transform seasonal vegetables into delicious, living foods that nourish both people and place.


Fermentation is one of humanity's oldest food preservation techniques—a practice that has sustained cultures, strengthened communities, and enhanced food security for thousands of years. In this hands-on workshop, local fermentista and educator Melanie Furman will guide participants through the practical skills and deeper cultural traditions behind fermented foods. Together we'll explore how fermentation can reconnect us to seasonal abundance, local food systems, and our own kitchen creativity.


When: November 8, 9-12 pm Where: The Root Food Hub, 189 Beddis Road
