*Spicy Kraut: Learn to Ferment Vegetables (low cost workshop; FREE for seniors) -- NEW DATE March 1st

We're going to reschedule this, due to the incoming storm. NEW DATE: Wednesday March 1st.

Learn how to make your own traditional, fermented sauerkraut (spicy version available) in this Village Vancouver ElderGreens workshop with Alyssa Kohlman. Fermented vegetables have many health benefits, including live enzymes, readily available vitamins and minerals, and probiotics -- and sauerkraut and other fermented vegetables are suitable for everyone (vegetarian, vegan, Paleo, gluten free). Please bring a wide-mouth 500ml mason jar, cutting board, large knife, and large bowl if you're able to, and wear clothes you don't mind preparing food in. Participants will go home with a jar of Customized sauerkraut to ferment at home.

Adults and families with children 10 years and older are welcome. All minors must be accompanied by a caregiver. We'll have a Community Seed Library present - you can get some free seeds for your garden or swap or donate some seeds. This workshop is by donation ($0 - $10), plus a $7 materials fee. Free for Seniors (50 and over).

Register by Wednesday, Feb 7th here or by email: ross@villagevancouver.ca. Limited space, early registration advised.
