Sandor Katz, the fermenation specialist and author, has asked me to post this information about his upcoming workshops:
Hello friends,
Life has been full.
I've 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 I'm home, I'm 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, I've 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.
I've 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 I've already made commitments for 2008 to workshops in Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Ontario, and England. (I'm looking for more contacts in Alaska and England, please.) But I've 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 you're 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.
