  Fermentation Works - Summer Delights

  10 am - 3 pmWalled Garden, Hardwick Estate

  Too much veg in weekly boxes? Or on your plot? Or maybe you are intrigued about quirky veg in your local shop? Come and taste a different way. Learn how to transform essential fruit and veg into vibrant goodies, full of healthy bacteria, flavour and zest!

  At Tolhurst Organic farm we only grow organic fruit and veg and yesss, summer may feel a bit too ... hot. But not when you make these cooling ferments!

  This event is a hands-on workshop learning about food & (non-alcoholic) drink fermentation. Participants will learn about different starters. Will get introduced to the theory of good and bad bacteria and how different home media can support our aims in fermentation. Everyone will be invited to taste various fermented fruit and veg. Practical activity will include harvesting, shredding and chopping seasonal veg, adding herbs and mixing for shared lot, to take home. Please bring 1.5-2 litres containers with firm lids, to avoid spilling on your way back. A sumptuous home-made lunch made with fermented and seasonal veg from the farm is included in the price. Participants are asked to bring their own knives and aprons, but we will supply if needed.

  The workshop will be held in our Packing Shed, which has a commercial kitchen for food and refreshments. Parking is free and available on-site. Discounts of £10 apply for repeat workshop customers, Hardwick residents and Tolhurst Organic farm events visitors. See details here
