THANK YOU CHRISTINA WARD FOR THE WONDERFUL KOMBUCHA COURSE!
Fall Fermentation 3-Part Series - KOMBUCHA!

We were all inspired by Christina's kombucha course on Tuesday the 13th. We all had a great time learning something new about kombucha, how to brew at home, and take home our own starter!
Class Description: This was a hands-on course where we worked together to understand the unique elements of kombucha and how to make it at home. Participants used a tea base and fruit juice and created their own beginning kombucha ferment to take home and cultivate.
