Glen Allen area to get bubbling at fermentation workshop

Those interested in delving into the world of fermenting foods should note that Twisted Carrot Farm will host the Fermentation 101 Workshop in Henrico, just a few miles from Glen Allen.

The workshop will be a small-group workshop that leans heavily on hands-on learning. Sarah Hoffman of Twisted Carrot Farm will guide participants through the process of fermenting their own vegetables step by step. The class will delve into fermentation science, modifications, food safety, and the health benefits of fermentation. All materials and tools will be provided by the hosts, including a glass weight, mason jar, and airtight lid. Attendees will be able to choose from a selection of raw vegetables sourced from local farms, as well as spices and herbs to add as they ferment.

Attendees will enjoy a sampling from Twisted Carrot Farm’s own fermented menu, and while their jars are fermenting, participants will also be able to take home an eight-ounce fermented product from the menu to enjoy.

Such workshops sometimes utilize instructional Posters to help participants in the learning process. These posters can be printed by visiting area businesses that specialize in poster printing.

The fermentation class is scheduled for May 4 from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm. It will be held at Lakeside Farmers' Market, located at 6106 Lakeside Avenue, Henrico. Tickets are priced at $60.
