Fall is fermentation time! Join microbiome researcher and founder of The Living Food Initiative, Ky Guse, PhD, for an interactive workshop exploring the connections between fermentation, microbes, food, and human health. We’ll discuss the science and cultural history of fermentation, while creating our own tasty sauerkraut.
This workshop is designed for curious beginners, food and science lovers, and anyone interested in learning more about the invisible microbial worlds that shape both our environments and our bodies. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of fermentation and the microbiome, practical skills for home fermentation, and will create a sauerkraut with herbs and spices to take home. Through conversation and hands-on learning as a community, this workshop invites us to think differently about health, ecology, and our relationships with the microbial world.

Meetings of Seward Co-op’s Board of Directors are open to any co-op owner. The next monthly board meeting is virtual and will be held Tuesday, September 29. To indicate your intention to attend, please email board@seward.coop prior to September 29. This will allow us to provide you the virtual meeting link. Captions are available upon request, and if you have a need for other accommodations, please include them in your email and we will do our best to meet them.
Seward Co-op’s Board of Directors is comprised of eight elected co-op owners who serve the co-op for three-year terms. The board typically meets 9-10 times a year on the last Tuesday of the month, at 6:15 p.m. The co-op’s board of directors appreciates hearing from you! They are available to answer questions and provide information about cooperative governance.
The Mediterranean diet has grown in popularity in recent years and emphasizes a whole food diet that is mostly plant based with quality protein and fat sources. With harvest season well under way, the co-op has delicious, local ingredients to incorporate into all Mediterranean diets! In this class, we’ll talk about the origins, health benefits, recipes and resources for this simple, accessible, and holistically minded way of eating.

Most kombucha classes teach you what kombucha is and how to brew it. This workshop also explores why it works! Join microbiome researcher and founder of The Living Food Initiative, Ky Guse, PhD, for an interactive introduction to the fascinating microbial ecosystem that transforms sweet tea into kombucha. Together, we’ll explore the bacteria and yeast that make up the SCOBY, how these microorganisms work together, and how changes in temperature, ingredients and time influence fermentation.
Whether you are completely new to kombucha or have been brewing at home for years, this workshop will help you understand fermentation through the lens of ecology and microbiome science. Along the way, we’ll separate common myths from current research, discuss what we know (and don’t know) about kombucha, health, and of course, you’ll leave with the knowledge and confidence to start your own brew at home.
