Join Marcia Christie during one of two sessions and learn how to make probiotic-rich, fermented cucumber pickles. Participants will go over how to select the best produce, washing and preparation, packing jars, and making the brine. Things like the fermenting process, best practices, and time frames for pickling will be discussed in detail. Participants will also receive a written guide to take home that includes all of this information and more!

All ingredients are provided, but we ask for a $5 fee per person to offset the costs of the pickles. The Brown Homestead also asks that participants bring along a few things from home to assist in the pickling:

• A large bowl

• A potato peeler

• A cutting board

• A paring knife

• (And if you desire) an apron!

Two sessions will be offered- a morning session from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm, and an afternoon session from 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm. Tickets can be purchased through the link: https://thebrownhomestead.ca/grow-at-the-homestead
