Join us for a morning of learning the art of fermenting vegetables with brine in Sauerkraut 101 led by our resident home fermentation enthusiast, Natalie. Sauerkraut is the probiotic and vitamin-C rich food, made by fermenting cabbages with just sea salt.
Natalie makes sauerkraut every two weeks for her family and is excited to share the wisdom she's gleaned to spread the joy and health benefits of homemade sauerkraut.
In order to keep costs down for attendees, this is a "bring your own" supplies workshop - participants will bring their own cabbage, knife, cutting board, large bowl, glass weight, kitchen scale, sea salt, and jar.
When: Saturday, March 8th, 2025 10:00am - 12:00pm
Where: Mama Tree is located in Upper Ojai, less than a 15-minute drive from downtown Ojai. Exact address and driving directions will be sent to you upon purchase and registration. Carpooling is encouraged to reduce traffic and wear and tear on the property.
Who: This will be a small event with only 9 tickets available. This offering is aimed towards adults but well-focused kids age 10+ are welcome to share 1 ticket to attend with adult crafting supervision. Only 1 tag-a-long child per adult please. This will not be an opportunity to roam the farm or pet the animals.
What should I wear and bring?: Attendees will provide their own supplies for sauerkraut making. All attendees must bring:
- 1 cabbage (green or red)* (*~2.5lbs of cabbage will fit in a quart jar)
- 1 32oz/quart jar or 64oz/half-gallon jar if bringing a larger cabbage
- 1 large mixing bowl
- 1 sharp knife
- 1 cutting board
- 1 kitchen scale
- sea salt
- a glass or ceramic weight* (*Reach out for recommendations or alternatives if you're unable to source these in time. Some weights will also be for sale at the workshop.)
Please wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty. Close-toed shoes and long pants are strongly encouraged. Do bring any other items you may need for weather: i.e. sunhat, layers, water bottle, snacks, etc.
