Fermentation Fest

Friend of the Market, Liz Crain, co-author of the new and very holiday giftable, Toro Bravo Cookbook has teamed up with PFM vendor, Dave Barber  of Bingo Sandwiches, to present the Fourth Annual Fermentation Festival. Liz sent us an update about tomorrow’s fest – Although Liz would never say this, It’s like Mardi Gras with brine. Info below:

Come celebrate pickling season at the Fourth Annual Portland Fermentation Festival at Ecotrust. Taste and share homemade live, fermented food and drinks made by professionals and home fermentation enthusiasts at the event that brought out more than 500 attendees in 2011.

Talk to fellow fermenters, exchange cultures and recipes, get advice from local food fermentation enthusiasts, and sample everything from sour pickles, miso and kefir to cheese, hard cider, and mead.
