This workshop is aimed at anyone interested in fermented food and drink. Using fruits and vegetables from the Windmill we will prepare a few simple lacto-ferment recipes like sauerkraut, fermented beetroot and fermented chili peppers for you to take home with you.

During this workshop you will learn about a variety of fermented foods, pickles and beverages as well as different strains of yeasts and bacteria and their uses. There will be honey kombucha for you to try and sourdough and other cultures to take away for those who would like one. This workshop will be held at the Windmill Community Gardens in Margate, a beautiful one acre community garden located in Dane Valley Margate, looked after and cared by the community.

This is an 18+ workshop

Wild Margate is run by Margate based artist and beekeeper Dominic Rose and a small number of colonies of honey bees kept in Cliftonville.

This workshop is a part of the Windmill Community Gardens Community Roots Programme which is a new project which has been funded by funded by Thanet District Council as part of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, and we are extremely grateful to have this opportunity to collaborate with local facilitators and volunteers, to become a Community Hub for learning and wellbeing.
