Those attending will learn to ferment different products. There will be demonstrations of how to make kimchi, kombucha, and sauerkraut. Samples will be available and participants will go home with recipes and inspiration to make new foods to ferment at home.

The Pie Filling Workshop will be held at Pinegrove Community Church at 1729 Buckhorn Road east of Dixonville. The class will run from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. with a cost of $30.
