Come learn how to make your own traditional, fermented sauerkraut from Aylssa Kohlman using local, organic produce. 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! If possible, each person should bring a large knife, cutting board, large bowl, cheese grater and one liter-size wide-mouth mason jar with lid. Participants will go home with a jar of sauerkraut to ferment at home, which should be ready to eat in about two weeks.
VV will have a seed library present - you can get some free seeds for your garden or swap or donate some seeds.
Cost: $20. Workshop fee includes cost of materials ($5). Limited to 12 participants. Please register by May 23rd.
50% Subsidies on the non-materials portion ($15) of the workshop fee are available to low income residents of Vancouver with a Leisure Access Card. For details on how to apply, please contact Strathcona CC or visit http://vancouver.ca/parks/rec/lac/index.htm.

If you have to leave your village, how will you get where you want to go? By car? Preferably not, both for your wallet and the earth’s sake. This category is for all discussions relating to how we all get around.

A human right? After food, most feel shelter is the most important necessity. A place of shelter is also the start of a community. This category is for all things relating to shelter, housing, affordable housing, homes, renewable heating systems, green buildings, heritage, and our built environment in general.
