Come participate in a cultural revolution! Wild fermentation is a way of incorporating the wild into your body, becoming one with the natural world. Wild foods possess a great, unmediated life force which can help us adapt to shifting conditions and lower our susceptibility to disease. Microorganisms are everywhere, and the techniques for fermenting with them are simple and flexible. In this workshop, we will spend time walking outdoors, getting to know local plants, harvesting edibles and medicinals, and together we will make sauerkraut, kimchi, kefir, kombucha, herbal elixir meads, miso and much more. You will leave with your own bubbling ferments. Come and join...[striped]
From peaches to pears to pawpaws, it’s a fabulous time to find fruit at area markets.
This past Saturday was the first market day of the season for vendor
Fresh Pearspective, who offer, you guessed it, pears! Their booth at
Asheville City Market was filled with Bosch and Seckel varieties to buy
and sample.
