<p>18 and older</p><p>What does abundance look like when we meet it with care?<br><br>Early
 summer is when farmers markets and CSA boxes start to overflow — more 
than any fridge can hold, more than any one meal can use. This workshop 
is about learning how to respond to that moment with intention. How to 
slow down, pay attention to what’s at peak, and turn a surplus of 
beautiful produce into something that lasts.<br><br>Using fresh seasonal
 vegetables sourced directly from local farms, we’ll spend the afternoon
 working through two preservation techniques that belong in every home 
kitchen — one ancient and alive, one fast and endlessly versatile.</p>
<h6><strong>Hands-on projects</strong></h6>
<p>Fermented
 Tomato Salsa — We’ll build a lacto-fermented salsa using peak-season 
tomatoes, chilies, garlic, and a live starter brine that jump-starts 
fermentation. The result is a salsa with more depth, more complexity, 
and more life than anything you can make with heat or acid alone. In two
 to three days it’s ready to eat. It keeps evolving from there.<br><br><em>Vinegar-Pickled Mixed Vegetables</em>&nbsp;—
 We’ll make a crisp, balanced quick pickle using a house brine ratio 
you’ll memorize in five minutes and use for the rest of your life. The 
brine is made with house-crafted vinegar — rosé and white wine — and 
poured over a seasonal mix of cucumbers, summer squash, and green beans 
packed with aromatics. These go home ready to eat and keep for weeks.<br><br><strong>WHILE WE WORK:</strong>&nbsp;We’ll
 graze throughout the afternoon on a seasonal vegetable and dip platter 
alongside pickles and ferments from previous batches — so you can taste 
exactly where your jars are going before they get there. This isn’t a 
snack. It’s a tasting of the whole practice.</p>
<h6><strong>What you leave with</strong></h6>
<ul>
<li>Two jars of preserved vegetables, ready to finish at home</li>



<li>A fermentation and pickling guide with ratios, timelines, and troubleshooting</li>



<li>The recipes made in class, written to be repeated without looking anything up</li>



<li>Enough understanding of the why behind each technique to adapt, improvise, and make it your own</li>



<li>Confidence to look at a pile of summer produce and know exactly what to do with it</li>
</ul>
