*Introduction to Fermenting

Are you intrigued about fermenting? Learn about several options in this Village Vancouver Eldergreens workshop, including veggie fermenting (sauerkraut and local seasonal ferments), water kefir, milk kefir, and kombucha. Find out what's involved, what equipment you need, where to find supplies and ingredients, and how much time and space it takes. We'll have a community seed library there - pick up some free seeds for your garden, or swap or donate seeds. 

Adults/families w/children 10 yrs+ are welcome - minors must be accompanied by a caregiver. 

Cost: $0-12.50 suggested donation. Free for Seniors (50 and over) and children under 10. Register here by 5 pm, January 24: http://www.villagevancouver.ca/events/early-summer-gardening-low-cost-workshop-free-for-seniors-1 or to ross@villagevancouver.ca.

Organized and led by seniors, VV ElderGreens brings seniors, youth and others together to share food & gardening skills and wisdom through workshops and other activities. All ages welcome, please contact us if you're interested in getting involved.
