- 8:30 pm: Summer Sips: DIY Probiotic Ginger Beer
Soda season is upon us! Nothing beats the heat like the sweet fizz of an ice-cold soda pop. But who wants all that sugar? All those chemicals? All that...what is phosphoric acid, anyway? Rachel Armistead, co-founder of The Sweet Farm and avid soda lover, teaches you how to make your own lightly fermented ginger beer (and other sodas) with less sugar, natural ingredients and seasonal flavorings. Attendees will leave with a how-to guide, a handmade ginger bug (wild soda culture), and recipe ideas for a summertime's worth of sweet, delicious fizz!

- 8 pm: Perfect Pickles: Summer Brining and Fermenting
Few things are more refreshing on a hot summer day than a cool, crunchy pickle. And it's even more satisfying (and healthier!) when you make it yourself! While cucumbers make the most popular pickles, all sorts of summer vegetables are perfect for pickling. From green tomatoes to hot peppers, zucchini to green beans, your summer garden is full of potential pickles. Rachel Armistead, co-founder of The Sweet Farm, will guide you through the process of brining and fermenting, and show you how to turn the summer bounty into delicious, probiotic pickles. Attendees will leave with a how-to guide, a quart of handmade pickles, and the confidence and know-how to continue fermenting all summer long!

September 20, 6 - 8 pm: Kim Chi and Me: Kim Chi for Every Palate
When most people think of kim chi, they think of a super spicy, bright red mix of strange vegetables buried in the ground. Which is why many people view the traditional Korean ferment suspiciously. But kim chi is a wonderful and varied ferment that can be made exactly how you like it. In this class, Rachel Armistead of The Sweet Farm will talk about all the different ways you can make and flavor your kim chi. And you'll get to make your own batch to take home, just the way you like it--no burying required!

Rachel Armistead is
co-owner of The Sweet Farm, a fermented foods company in Frederick, Maryland,
that sells a variety of naturally fermented, probiotic krauts, pickles, mustard
and ginger beer. She also loves teaching people how to make fermented veggies
and sodas at home for themselves. Through product sales and workshops, Rachel
hopes to once again make fermentation part of our common food culture.
