Fermentation Works – Autumn Bounty Too much in your your veg in weekly boxes? Or maybe you are thinking about storing away some goodness for cold winter days? Come and taste a different way. Learn how to transform essential fruit and veg into vibrant goodies, full of healthy bacteria, flavour and zest! At Tolhurst Organic farm we only grow organic fruit and veg and yesss, autumn may feel a bit too … full. But not when you make these tasty ferments to take you through winter!This event is a hands-on workshop learning about food & (non-alcoholic) drink fermentation. Participants will learn about different starters. Will get introduced to the theory of good and bad bacteria and how different home media can support our aims in fermentation. Everyone will be invited to taste various fermented fruit and veg. Practical activity will include harvesting, shredding and chopping seasonal veg, adding herbs and mixing, to take home. Please bring 1.5-2 litres containers with firm lids, to avoid spilling on your way back. A sumptuous home-made lunch made with fermented and seasonal veg from the farm is included in the price. Participants are asked to bring their own knives and aprons, but we will supply if needed.SIGN UP HERE. Discounts apply for repeat customers, Hardwick residents and farm events visitors.

After the publishing of George Monbiot’s latest book Regenesis, where a whole chapter Fruitful is dedicated to our farm, as a happy solution to the problems described, we have received multiple requests for visits.

Tolhurst Organic is a working farm, and visits are possible by appointment only, or as part of organised events. Hence this farm walk, dedicated to Stockfree Organic, soil, woodchip and everything else we set up to produce healthy vegan and organic “veganic” food. Bring suitable clothes and shoes for a 3.5 hours farm walk. Bring a picnic lunch to enjoy after the walk, at the farm. Tea and coffee will be provided.

Dogs are allowed on lead and under owners’ supervision. Cars can be parked in our Farm Shop car park.REFUND POLICY Refunds are possible up to 7 days prior to event, minus Eventbrite fees.
