SUMMARY:Fermentation & The Microbiome: A Hands-On Workshop
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThis 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. \n$25 non-Seward Co-op owners / $20 Seward Co-op owners \nKy Guse\, PhD; The Living Food Initiative

SUMMARY:Kombucha: Understanding the Microbial Ecosystem in Your Jar
DESCRIPTION: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. \nWhether 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. \n$25 non-Seward Co-op owners / $20 Seward Co-op owners \nKy Guse\, PhD; The Living Food Initiative
