Subject: Upcoming Fermentation Workshops

Hello friends,

Life has been full.

Ive been zooming around the country sharing fermentation skills and
talking with people about our insane food system and grassroots
movements to reclaim our food. I continue to find inspiring food
activists and people eager to understand more about fermentation
everywhere I go. This work is very gratifying.

When Im home, Im part of a complex, always evolving, and sometimes
demanding community. Community living can be hard work, getting along
with many different people, trying to understand and support one
another, as well as maintain our buildings and infrastructure, keep
up with our garden and animals, and keep the place clean. As a result
of my constant travels these past few years, Ive neglected many of my
cherished food cultures and become quite an erratic gardener. I
struggle to find balance between my missionary work spreading
fermentation fervor and my desire to be involved in growing and
fermenting food, which requires time at home.

Ive decided to throw myself into fermentation fervor for the next
year. Below is my workshop schedule through January, which will bring
me to Pennsylvania, New York, California, and Tennessee. Beyond that
Ive already made commitments for 2008 to workshops in Georgia,
Virginia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, California, Oregon,
Washington, Alaska, Ontario, and England. (Im looking for more
contacts in Alaska and England, please.) But Ive decided that after
2008, I need to take a break from this intensive traveling.

So come to a workshop now if you can. Bring ferments and cultures to
share if youre an active fermenter. And please forward this
announcement to relevant listserves, as well as anyone you know who
might be interested in these events. Also, if any of you are doing
fermentation-related teaching of your own, please email me details so
I can post them on my website. There is a hunger for this information,
and I urge others with these skills to share them.

I hope you are well and feeling the winds of change this autumn.
