You can also join 24 Carrot Health at another upcoming fermenting workshop at Urban Acres! The classes we’ve had so far have been great!
Once you start making these fermented foods, life won’t be the same. These preparations tend to be the gateway for fermenting fanatics. There’s really no going wrong with these simple preparations that add tons of flavor and complexity to everyday meals.
Have you heard about water kefir? They are cool jelly like grains, really a SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria and Yeast), that turn sugar water into a probiotic drink. In this workshop I will show you how to make rejuvelac with sprouted rye, water kefir, coconut water kefir with a secondary ferment, and lacto-fermented ginger ale. Samples will be provided of all to taste.
Participants will receive samples of coconut water and ginger ale in swing top bottles to take home to complete fermentation, water kefir grains to take home, and detailed instructions and recipes.
This class is more expensive because the swing top bottles for take home samples are expensive – about $3.50 each, and water kefir grains with full instructions on how to care for them.
Participants must register by the evening of March 1st and pay in advance so 24 Carrot Health may purchase and provide materials for the workshop.
PLEASE NOTE: Because workshop materials must be purchased in advance, they are unable to refund your purchase.
WHEN: Saturday, March 3rd, 3 – 5pm
WHERE: Urban Acres Farm Store – 1301 B West Davis St, Dallas, TX 75208
COST: $60/person – class is limited to 12 people

Fermentation makes food more digestible and nutritious, preserves nutrients, improves the bioavailability of minerals present in foods, and creates new nutrients.
Live unpasteurized fermented foods carry beneficial bacteria directly into into our digestive systems where they exist symbiotically breaking down food and aiding digestion. By eating a variety of live fermented foods one you promote diversity among microbial cultures in your body.

Locally-Roasted CoffeeFor the coffee connoisseur your life, we have a few great options…
Oak Cliff Coffee began by delivering their coffee “milkman style” to their neighbors in Oak Cliff, TX. Every other week, their customers would wake up to fresh-roasted coffee in a burlap sack hanging on their doorknob. Since then, their story has been about relationships and steady growth. They now supply their coffee to some of the best coffeehouses, restaurants, and retailers in Dallas. We at Urban Acres are glad to be one of them!
Dallas-based Cultivar Coffee & Tea was pioneered by Jonathan Meadows and Nathan Shelton who appreciate every coffee for what it truly is and are committed to taking whatever steps necessary to highlight the amazing, unique character in every coffee. They are committed to both quality and sustainability, bringing both ideals hand-in-hand; bringing a new level of care, attention to detail and socio-economic responsibility to the world of coffee. Cultivar roasts and cups every coffee in celebration of the the hard work that coffee producers have put into their crop year round, respecting the processes that have gone before them and the preparation and consumption of the coffee that will take place once it is in your hands.
