About this Event
About the experience
Cultivate is an intimate gathering where fermentation is the foundation of connection, conversation, and community.
Join Chef Maggie for an evening around the table exploring milk kefir—one of the simplest and most versatile fermented foods to make at home.
We'll begin with a seasonal kefir tasting, then explore the fermentation process together through a relaxed, hands-on workshop. You'll learn how to care for kefir grains, make your own milk kefir, and discover simple ways to incorporate it into everyday food.
We'll gather around the table for a seasonal meal featuring kefir in ways you may not have experienced before.
You'll leave with:
- Your own milk kefir grains
- A jar to begin fermenting at home
- Simple care and fermentation instructions
- Recipes and inspiration for using kefir
- The confidence to continue fermenting on your own
No fermentation experience is needed. Cultivate is designed to make fermentation approachable, curious and fun.
Space is intentionally limited to 8 guests to keep the evening intimate, conversational and hands-on.
