Learning is cool. So is making and growing stuff. And when we have the ‘itch’ to add a new skillset to our repertoire, and/or buff up our brains with some knowledge, we tend to count on UBC Farm to set us up. Their calendar is full of rad workshops; but here are two in-person situations happening soon that are grabbing our attention…

On Saturday, July 26th, head to the Farm to get funky with fruits and vegetables by registering for one of two hands-on workshops exploring the centuries-old process of lacto-fermentation, – or make a full day of it by signing up for both! First up, from 9:30am until noon, brewer and a professional distiller Kristine Hui (aka Miss Brewbird) hosts Veggies and Fruits Workshop ($45.15). Over the course of the two-and-a-half-hour-long morning workshop, you’ll get hooked up with all of the basics you need to know about the science and health benefits of lacto-fermentation, and you’ll walk away with a bag full of its delicious, nutritious results in the form of naturally fermented pickles and apples.

Next up, after a brief lunch break – during which the Saturday Farmer’s Market while be in full swing (10am until 2pm) – Hui switches gears for Let’s Make Kimchi with Radish and Cucumber, from 1:30pm to 4pm. In this workshop, kimchi-curious participants will get their hands ‘dirty’ learning the skills to make your own radish and cucumber version of the traditional Korean dish, and discover all about the other varieties out there.

No previous experience is necessary to participate in either workshop, but attendees are required to bring two 1L mason jars to the workshop in order to transport the items you make home with you. Find out more about these and all of UBC Farm’s upcoming Community Workshops and secure your spaces here. Then get ready to get empowered in the kitchen!
