I can't compliment you enough on this event. It completely exceeded my expectations and was truly one of the most powerful experiences of my life. Thank you!
An amazing opportunity to learn about and experience deeply nourishing food traditions. Take this class if you want to reconnect your gut with the land, and thousands of years of fermentation practices.
The atmosphere where everyone was eager to learn and incorporate the concepts into their lives made the experience unforgettable. I plan to ferment for the rest of my life.
