Curious about making your own fermented veggies at home? Join us for this hands-on class where you will learn about the basics and benefits of vegetable fermentation, the two methods used in veggie fermentation (dry-salting and brining), food safety, supplies needed and troubleshooting.

Your instructor will provide the following:

• Jars, weights, airlocks for each student
