What: This class will center around some of the history and methods of fermentation while learning the basics of fermented food safety and troubleshooting. We will make fermented carrot sticks in class for you to take home to continue to culture and ferment.

Who: Kate Prejean has always been a bit of a kitchen witch and this has morphed into learning about various fermentation methods and techniques. During her journey she has made kombucha, milk kefir, “bugs”, and fermented a wide variety of fruits and veggies. The chemistry of naturally found yeasts and beneficial bacterias that come together to preserve food and enhancing your gut biome is a fun journey! Kate’s first love is ceramics and she has a degree from Stephen F. Austin in Nacogdoches, TX. While homeschooling her two kids she is also a volunteer coordinator for the Kerrville Folk Festival. She’s an avid outdoor enthusiast and can be found foraging, camping, hiking, and surfing as much as possible.
