In the context of a working Fiber farm Open View Farm Educational Center is committed to creating an environment where interpersonal understanding across race, class, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, national identity and religion is valued, artistic expression is nurtured and avenues toward Peace and Justice in our communities and in the classroom are explored. Food Preservation and Health through Fermentation Saturday, November 14, 1-3 pm Daniel Greene will give an overview of the ancient craft of lacto fermentation. Lacto fermentation utilizes lactic acid producing bacteria to prevent spoilage, enhance flavors, increase nutrient availability and create a food rich in beneficial micro flora. Come to this hands-on workshop where we will turn garden fresh cabbages into sauerkraut. At the end of the workshop you will have some sauerkraut to take home to finish curing. There will be samples of home made sauerkraut and spicy kimchi style cabbage for inspiration! Call 413 369 0240 to reserve a spot in the workshop.
