About

Join Daylesford Organic Pimlico for a series of workshops and events that explore the traditional crafts of harvest. A showcase of artisan skills which celebrate food, floristry and homeware, from wreath making with hops and corn husks, to working with the gentle nature of seeds, to a celebration of cider making and fermenting.

Introduction to Fermenting, Thursday 7 October 

Join Daylesford at their Pimlico Farmshop for a fermenting workshop to celebrate London Craft Week with their very own Jason Christie.

Fermenting food is a traditional way of controlling spoilage, managing seasonal gluts and minimising food waste – with an outcome that is both nourishing and utterly delicious. As well as being really good for gut health, ferments bring exciting flavours, textures and a mouth-watering, funky ‘twang’ to dishes.

The fermenting workshops are hosted by Jason Christie, who leads the in-house Fermentary at Daylesford’s Cotswold farm where he transforms seasonal crops from their farm’s organic Market Garden into fibre-rich, gut-friendly ferments that help tackle food waste – and are full of flavour.

Jason will teach the essential techniques and fundamentals of fermenting. During the two-hour workshop he will help you make your own ferments to take home and enjoy, along with the knowledge and confidence to keep making them. You will learn the science behind fermentation, the health benefits of including ferments in your diet and plenty of ideas of how to cook with and use ferments every day.
