Sandor Katz Fermentation Workshops - 2009

Sandor Katz has to be one of the best teachers of fermentation methods around. If you want to learn how to make sauerkraut, kimchi, or any other ferment and you live in the US then check out the workshops that he is holding.

Fermentation is all about lactic acid bacteria and if you eat enough of those you will certainly be geting all the probiotics you need.

If you're homophobic then this probably isn't the course for you! There will be lots of colorful people about.

Fermentation Workshops with Sandor Ellix Katz

WHERE

At the teaching kitchen of the Foundation for Fermentation Fervor

Little Short Mountain Farm, Woodbury, TN

Join cultural revivalist Sandor Katz for a week of intensive, hands-on fermentation experience.

Learn techniques for making sauerkraut, kimchi, and other vegetable ferments, mead (honey wine), koji, miso, tempeh, dairy and grain ferments, tonic beverages, and more. Small groups will work with Sandor in a new production and teaching kitchen he has created at a friend's farm.

We will be in production, with students actively participating in the preparation of fairly large batches of each ferment. There will be ample time for explaining the processes and techniques, and answering questions. We have the flexibility to prepare other types of ferments as well, depending upon participants' interests.

This is an opportunity for people with some fermentation experience to intensively immerse themselves in the practice. Sandor is an experienced fermentation educator who shares these skills with great enthusiasm and passion. Students will return home with samples of the foods we create together, as well as cultures. Students also have access to Sandor's extensive library of fermentation-related books during their stay.
