Come and learn about the significance of the gut microbiome and how to care for it with the skill of preserving through fermentation of veggies, salsa, fruit and bread. The workshop is $10. You’ll get to taste lots of delicious fermented foods and take home your own sourdough starter.  Deadline to sign up is March 28th.

Did you know that what you eat and how you live directly impacts your health and how you feel? For every cell we have in our body there are 10x more bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa that are all talking to our mitochondria, coordinating repair and growth. We are only 1% human… the rest of us is an ecosystem that works harmoniously with our body if we are treating them right. Those little critters are the control center of the body, regulating hormones, inflammation, brain chemistry and what we do or don’t absorb. We know that 70% of our immune system is in the gut, where health begins. Our gut health even impacts our brain activity because more gaba and serotonin are produced in the gut than the brain. For every 1 message our brain sends to our gut, our gut sends 9. These messages include the activation of our immune system, the growth of new brain cells and the adaptability of these new cells to learn. More science is finding that our gut microbiome is critical to whether or not we experience chronic illness and impacts the health of our future.

Come and learn what foods trigger inflammation and which foods to eat more of. We will learn the simple skill of fermenting vegetables like kimchi and salsa, fruit chutneys and even fermented bread which lowers the gluten content significantly. Contact me for more info. Seating maximum for this class is 25. Class will begin at 1 pm. Please visit my events page to sign up for the class.

Come and learn how to start and care for your own seedlings indoors! Starting your own seeds is simple and rewarding. We will talk about what to do and what not to do for transplanting outside.

You also have the option of just purchasing a planted tray for $15. There will be options to plant veggies, culinary herbs and medicinal plants.  Cost for the class is $50 with a soil blocker or $15 for just a planted tray.  Class capacity – 25.
