A bread-baking workshop will be held on Thursday, Oct. 17, from 6 to 8 p.m. The class will explore white, whole wheat, sourdough and artisan bread varieties. Instruction will include the use of a variety of ingredients, techniques, and variations for distinct bread-making styles. The workshop will include bread samplings and hands-on instruction. No prior bread-baking experience is required.

Gut Nourishing Treats: A Beginner's Guide to Lacto-fermenting will be offered on Saturday, Oct. 19, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The class will explore the world of fermentation in a hands-on workshop tailored for beginners. The ancient art of lacto-fermentation is a natural preservation method that not only extends the shelf life of vegetables but also unlocks their hidden potential for flavor and nutrition.

In this interactive session, attendees will learn the practical techniques of vegetable lacto-fermentation and gain an understanding of the vital role played by soil microbes in the process. The class will explore the intricate connection between soil health, gut health and overall well-being. Throughout the workshop, attendees will experiment with an array of seasonal produce and flavor combinations. By the end of the workshop, participants will leave equipped with the knowledge and skills to continue fermenting at home. Materials provided for the workshop will include mason jars and glass weights, organic vegetables, salt, spices and flavorings. Attendees will also receive handouts and recipes.
