Fermentation Magic at Living Arts School

Come join Mara and Willow King of the Esoteric Food Company and The Living Arts School for an afternoon of Fermentation Magic!

We will go over the basics, answering questions as we go. We will make a seasonal kraut, and we will also demonstrate and go over the nuances of traditional Korean style hand massaged kimchi.  Bring 2 x quart sized ball jars so you can bring your kraut / kimchi babies home with you.
