Pickling and fermenting food is all about storing and enhancing your produce and your health! Join Naturopath Sonya Byron for this interactive and fun workshop, in which you will learn a variety of different techniques to take home and apply to various fruits and vegetables. Pickling and fermenting not only enables us to store our food and enhance its nutritional content and flavour, it also introduces the kinds of good bacteria into our diet that can have an incredibly positive impact on our digestive and general health and wellbeing.

What to Expect:
We will start with an interactive discussion on gut health, its foundational importance to our overall health and vitality, and the myriad health benefits of eating fermented foods. You will then be working with local, seasonally available, organically grown produce throughout the day, learning the basic techniques for quick pickles, vinegar pickles, salt brines, fermented vegetables and more! Using these basic techniques, some simple equipment, a few ingredients, and a little time, anyone can learn to confidently and safely preserve their own food. We will also get creative and experiment with different herb and spice flavour profiles, and you will learn how to pair these with different types of produce to enhance the look, taste, therapeutic value, and uniqueness of your preserves.
What’s included:
All tuition, equipment and materials, and ingredients are included in the workshop price. You will take home a jar from each of the different batches we make throughout the day, as well as an informational handout guide so you can continue to practice your new skills at home. Tea and coffee will be provided.
