The Alchemy of Fermentation @ Holmdel, NJ w/ Dan Farella

$40
(Sliding scale, email Dan@returntonature.us) - Supplies Included



Class
at 5pm - Potluck at 7pm



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 an
abundance of vitamins, minerals, and probiotics. In this day where germaphobia
is so prevalent, most of our food is pasteurized to no end. Thus we are losing
culture, and culturing practice. This makes finding truly fermented foods rare
and expensive. Fortunately it is easy, safe and inexpensive to make fermented
foods at home.

This workshop will empower you, with
hands on experience, to make your own fermented healthy foods at home which
require no electricity and no refrigeration. We will explore the process of
this ancient art, the many ways of flavoring with spices and how to easily
incorporate fermented foods into your diet.



Everyone will leave with their own jar
of delicious, nourishing fermented veggies, as well as the knowledge to
properly store and care for them, and of course how to make lots more!

planning for the Return to Nature 2014 class season. Anyone who knows
interested people or centers from yoga to community centers, health food
stores, farmers markets, gardening organizations, back yards, and anyone else
that can host or help organize workshops, please be in touch.  Also
looking to expand the Return to Nature team including people to post flyers,
help organize classes, and do any further promotional work.
