Art of Fermentation @ Cherry Grove Farm w/ Dan Farella
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.

Dan 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!
