Alchemy of Vegetable Fermentation @ The Yurt w/ Dan Farella

September 14th @ 2pm

Workshop - $30 + $5 for supplies

Fermentation of vegetables and
plant matter is an ancient alchemical practice of breaking down plant cells in
salt water to extract the highest form of nutrients and nourish the body with
abundance of vitamins, minerals, and probiotics. In this day where germaphobia
is so prevalent, most of our food is pasteurized to no end, and thus we are
losing culture, and culturing practice. This makes finding truly fermented
foods rare and expensive. Fortunately it is easy and safe to make fermented
foods at home.

This workshop will empower you
with hands on experience of making your own fermented healthy foods such as
sauerkraut, pickles, and kimchee at home which require no electricity and no
refrigeration. We will explore the process of this art, the many ways of
flavoring and using spices, ways to add fermented foods to your diet. And I
will bring Ferments to try so BYOB – Bring your own bowl and utensil.

We will also discuss the magic
and sacredness of this ancient ritual from the Alchemical perspective, and see
the healing effects of consuming these foods to grow our bacterial genome.

Each person will leave home with
a jar of fermented “kraut-chee” and the know how to care for it, eat it, and
make lots more!
