Please join us as we welcome Sandor Katz to Baltimore!

Sandor will talk about his role as a fermentation revivalist and how this fits into our food system - from cultural context, justice, to sovereignty, followed by Q&A. Part of the proceeds will benefit Whitelock Community Farm, where Sandor will be hosting a demonstration the following day. Inspired snacks and drinks will be provided by HEX Ferments.

Sandor Ellix Katz is a fermentation revivalist. His books Wild Fermentation (2003) and the Art of Fermentation (2012), along with the hundreds of fermentation workshops he has taught around the world, have helped to catalyze a broad revival of the fermentation arts. A self-taught experimentalist who lives in rural Tennessee, the New York Times calls him "one of the unlikely rock stars of the American food scene." The Art of Fermentation received a James Beard award, and In 2014, Sandor was honored with the Craig Claiborne Lifetime Achievement Award from the Southern Foodways Alliance. www.wildfermentation.com.

HEX Ferments uses the traditional method of fermentation to preserve and transform local, organic produce into nourishing foods: unique sauerkrauts, kimchi, seasonal ferments, and kombucha tea. www.hexferments.com
