Wild Fermentation Class with Bo Brown

June 14, 2025 | 1:00 - 3:30 pm | Education Building | Presented by Powell Gardens and WildHERness 

Join us for a workshop with renowned Ozark foraging author Bo Brown! 

Learn the basics and confidence you need to explore and experiment with fermented foods!

Enjoy a presentation from Bo about what's needed to start making bacteria-rich, gut-enhancing fermented foods at home. Go with him on a short hike to learn about collecting wild greens, and make your own jar of fermented veggies and greens to take home!

• The presentation and class will be indoors.
• You're welcome to bring your own pint or quart canning jar; we will have some on hand as well.
