  • 5/5 from Annie Ear, attended Apr 2026: I have always wanted to ferment my own veggies, however avoided doing so, as I felt intimidated by the process and worried that I might mess it up and get someone sick. Needless to say, I am glad that I took this workshop by Alex and Jaime, as they did a wonderful job at breaking down the process and making it really easy to learn. The instructors were engaging and had a wealth of knowledge and the workshop ran smoothly. I would highly recommend this class to everyone! :)
