Mill City Grows ROOT Community Space

Please note: This class is FILLED.
At this one-hour class on food preservation, Emily Makrez, owner of F-Word Farm and educator on all things related to fermenting, farming, and foraging, will show you how to pickle what’s in season to make the most of your harvest AND prevent food waste. We’ll learn the principles of fermentation via a demonstration of how to make a carrot (or other seasonal) lacto-fermented pickle. The demonstration will include the basic principles of fermentation so you will leave with the knowledge and confidence to be able to safely ferment practically anything! We will also touch on the benefits of lacto-fermented food and how adding these foods to our diets are a benefit to our overall health.
