Be immersed in the magical world of fermentation and wrap your tastebuds around the salty, sour and spicy delicacy of fermented cabbage. A long-time beloved food ritual of Korea, Kimchi has traditionally been prepared to help families sustain the long cold winter months. Using traditional food processing methods, one can create a beautiful fermented food that is beneficial to the digestive system, boosting immunity and overall health. Kimchi is rich in vitamins, lactic acid (beneficial digestive), active enzymes and gut-loving bacteria, making it a valuable component of a healthy and supported diet.

- Working with our hands to prepare and make Kimchi to connect to ourselves and our bodies wisdom.
- Exploring wild foods to enhance health properties in Kimchi.

You will go away with your own unique blend of Kimchi, lots of information, and a stronger confidence and appreciation of the tradition and practice of fermenting foods.
