Join us for a primer in lacto-fermented foods led by Jenna Empey from Pyramid Ferments.

Fermentation preserves food in a natural way without the use of vinegar, sugar, pasteurization or artificial preservatives. The process of fermentation creates a live and cultured super food, rich in nutrients, probiotics and enzymes.

In this demo with Jenna Empey from Pyramid Ferments, you will learn about various types of food and beverage fermentation, their health benefits, and our local ferment community.

Jenna Empey has over fifteen years experience in organic agriculture and fermentation. Marrying the two, she began an artisanal business that would focus on the natural fermentation of foods and beverages. With a commitment to local food, innovation and experimentation; Pyramid Ferments has created an exciting and distinct product line of fermented foods and beverages, never before seen in Canada.

Pyramid Ferments is an award winning, family company based in Northport, Prince Edward County. Pyramid Ferments handcrafts a unique and innovative line of fermented foods and beverages such as Sauerkraut, Kimchi, Kombucha, Kvass and their signature "Gut Shots." 

Constellations is a new series of lectures and demonstrations encompassing politics and identity, science and technology, arts and letters, and practical skills relevant to contemporary life.

This is a drop in program. Admission will be on a first-come, first-served basis.
