Megan has been brewing kombucha at home for over a decade. She’s had every disaster you can imagine along the way, so she knows exactly how to help you skip the usual kombucha pitfalls and get great results. Through a lot of trial and error she has worked out a simple, reliable method that fits into real life, not a Pinterest fantasy. She drinks kombucha daily, not just for the gut health perks but because it is genuinely delicious, and she cannot wait to get you started on your own brewing journey.
This workshop is perfect for complete beginners as well as anyone who has tried brewing before and given up after a few questionable experiments. Come spend a couple of hours at Perth City Farm, taste some brews, ask all your questions and leave confident to keep it going at home.
Our Farmer's Market is in full swing at the same time. Feel free to come early to do your shopping or to get a coffee from Be free café.
All this is set in the grounds of Perth City Farm, non-profit community environmental centre that provides space and opportunities to cultivate connection, and educates and enables all of us to live sustainably with nature. Revenue generated from workshops supports our Farm.
