Community Corner

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

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



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 healthy fermented 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!



RSVP is required for address. In
order to have the correct amount of supplies prepared we must know in advance.



Please email: Dan@returntonature.us and
let us know you’re coming!
