Join us, with Peter and Byron, on Wednesday 22nd November for an afternoon full of fermenting, tasting and learning. We were thrilled to come across CULTJAR when we were looking for new and exciting stockists for our Farm Shop. Based in Somerset, Peter with his team of growers and chefs have created a fabulous line of ferments using a wide range of traditional methods and techniques injected with a modern twist spanning cultures from across the globe from Japanese to American to Nordic style pickles. Their playful flavour combinations and creative spin on a range of different preservation techniques is utterly joyful. They have been so popular in the farm shop that we jumped at the chance to host a second FLOURISH X CULTJAR workshop here at the farm before Christmas. Come and learn how to make your own ferments just in time for you to then get ready making jars and jars of your own at home ready for Christmas gift ideas! Tickets available here.

Our workshop will start at 1pm at Flourish Farm Shop with a welcome tea/ coffee and homemade treat made using our heritage grains grown here on the farm. Peter and head chef Byron will explain the history and techniques used in fermenting along with the multitude of health benefits that have been so widely reported on in recent years.

During the workshop you will be shown how to make two different ferments (one will be hands on) and we hope to use as much seasonal produce grown here at Flourish as possible; fresh from the field to your fermenting jar….. it doesn’t get more local than that. You’ll also be given some other recipe ideas to take home to play around with.

We will also be serving a selection of chilled drinks and wine/ fizz during the day and our farm shop (normally closed on a Wednesday) will be open at the end of the workshop for those who fancy a browse. You’ll leave with your CULTJAR recipes, the jars you’ve made and a passion for all things pickled.
