Corporate and community fermentation workshops
Connect and cultivate
Looking for something a little different for a team bonding or client entertainment session? A fermentation workshop making sauerkraut or kimchi is the perfect way to foster workpace wellbeing.
Boost your team’s morale and gut health at the same time with a memorable, hands-on group activity. Learn the basics of lacto-fermentation and take home jars of probiotic goodness as well as recipe sheets.
A fun experience that enhances team spirit in the immediate term but it’s a skill that can last a lifetime and directly contribute to improved physical and mental health.

I highly recommend this class to beginners and experienced fermenters alike. A great gift for the pickle lover in your world!”
