Emily Makrez, owner of F-Word Farm and educator on all things related to fermenting, farming, and foraging, will guide us in making our own fermented hot sauce using fresh Mill City Grows peppers!
Attendees are required to bring:
- a cutting board
- a knife
- a clean glass pint jar (a 16-oz canning mason jar is ideal, either 5.13″ tall and 3.38″ in diameter, or a Wide Mouth jar that’s 4.6″ tall and 3.125″ in diameter)
Optional item:
- A small scale (in grams) – bring one if you have it!
We’re so excited to welcome F-Word Farm back to our ROOT Community Space for another great hands-on workshop!
By making small changes as individuals, we can have a larger impact on our changing climate. Come join us!
