We had a great time learning how about lacto-fermentation a few weeks ago with Sarah and Michael from Wild Oak Homestead.
A lot of information was covered in a short time:
  • Benefits of fermenting food
  • Basic "rules" of fermentation
  • How to ferment sauerkraut, sour pickles, kvass, pastes and condiments
  • Demonstration of the creation of a batch of spicy sauerkraut
  • Pros and cons of various fermentation vessels
  • Common mistakes, how to prevent them, and fixes
  • Resources for more information on fermenting

We also got to taste three of the unique (and delicious!) sauerkraut recipes made by Wild Oak Homestead!

Some workshop participants helped to transfer a large batch of kraut into jars for everyone to take home.

On our break, we got to hear all about the Lorne Sutherland Women's Institute and the work they are doing in our community. Thank you so much to the Women's Institute for helping us host this workshop and providing delicious goodies for everyone!

Thank you to everyone who came out!

9/27/2017

The Beckwitch, Penny Foster, joined us to teach our registrants all about water bath canning at the Galetta Community Centre.

In attendance, we had some seasoned folks who wanted to brush up on their knowledge and some novices who were there to learn from the beginning. The three hour workshop flew by as Penny shared her wisdom, including invaluable safety information and the debunking of canning myths. The registrants got their hands dirty almost right away, making a blueberry rhubarb jam and picking beets. There was a flurry of activity in the kitchen and it was beautiful to see how well everyone worked together and learned as they worked.

During the break, everyone enjoyed a delicious array of snacks and beverages brought by the Lorne Sutherland Women's Institute while having the opportunity to see and hear more about the work they do.

​Overall, a great event!

Workshop brought to the community in partnership with the Lorne Sutherland Women's Institute and Islandview Estates.
