Food Preservation: Pickling and Fermentation

  • Tuesday, August 26, 2025, 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM

Nothing beats the crunchy zing of a homemade pickle! In this workshop we'll learn the basics of making fermented foods and how to ferment food safely. We'll also have plenty of time for a hands-on activity where participants will get to decide if they want to make pickles or sauerkraut.

Instructor Aly Trombitas is the Agriculture & Horticulture Educator at CCE Tompkins. She is Master Food Preserver and started formally (and enthusiastically) teaching food preservation in 2023. She has many years of experience teaching all ages about food, environment, and agriculture.

This class is limited to 16 participants.
