Multiple vegetables that grew in the summer sunshine of 2024 can be stored deep into the winter. These hardy vegetables are preserved in cold storage to eat in the non-growing season of the North Country. Fermentation is a nutritious way to safely preserve the bountiful harvest. In winter, it's also a great way to expand our diets and create new flavor combinations.
Join the Master Food Preserver Volunteers in this fun, informative in-person class. The instructors will share their enthusiasm for this simple preservation method with two techniques for fermenting vegetables. During this class, produce such as cabbage, carrots, beets and garlic will be used, but the goal is for everyone to be comfortable trying this nutritious, flexible method at home with the seasonal produce of your choice. Participants will have the chance to make two recipes, sample other fermented products and take home jars to ferment on their own.
Class size is limited to offer hands-on opportunities for every participant. Pre-registration is required.
Payment is due by March 10th. Payment options include:
