Fermentation of Place at Hollyhock on Cortes Island

Learn to collaborate with the microbes that make your foods delicious and your health vibrant.

Join Kirsten in this unique fermentation master class in a very special setting at Hollyhock Retreat Center.

You will learn how to ferment confidently and safely in your kitchen and be inspired to bring this practice into your regular routine. You’ll learn the art and science of this ancient craft by exploring the abundance of Hollyhock during harvest—vegetables, apples, sea vegetables and salt. This workshop will be appropriate for both beginners and experienced fermenters.

The workshop will focus on place, we will be outside in the gardens, harvesting salt from the sea, and making in the kitchen. You will learn through demonstrations, hands-on projects, and plenty of time for discussion and tasting. By the end of this program, you’ll have the skill and confidence to successfully collaborate with the microbes that transform and enliven your food for extraordinary health and flavour in the place that you call home. All levels of fermenters welcome!
