Maybe you have heard about how good fermented foods are for you.

But what are they?

Fermentation goes back as long as mankind has been preparing food.

Our ancestors relied on these delicious, healthful foods for survival, yet today many of us struggle to incorporate them into our diets.

Learn to easily create tasty ferments in your own kitchen without any special equipment or unusual ingredients.

It is so much easier than most people think!

These foods are essential for gut/digestive health and they even enhance your mood and impact your emotions.

By fermenting food, you collaborate with your environment and nature itself! Not only does this practice provide you with more nutritious food to improve your physical well-being, but it can bring a greater sense of connection with nature, earth, and all of life.

Come learn the basics of fermentation with Christin and go home with a jar of lacto-fermenting veggies we'll make together in class!
