Learn the Ancient Art of Fermentation

Delivered by Rox Madeira from Trossachs Wild Apothecary and funded by Falkirk Food Futures.

Fermenting is an ancient way to preserve foods but it is with our modern lense that we have discovered just how beneficial it is for our bodies, having a positive effect on gut health, mental health and the immune system. This is a hands-on workshop where we will be making a couple of ferments to take away with us.

This is a hand-on workshop where you will make ferments to take away with you....Such as salsa, sauerkraut, sour cream, fire cider.

We kindly ask participants to bring 4/5 jars and plastic bags (in case of leakage) to take the ferments away.
