June 13th, we hosted a gathering at WolfBrew Bottle Shop. Noel, who taught fermenting with food scraps at our Use Food Scraps Symposium, noticed we were raising money for our new website. She contacted us and asked if she could teach fermenting classes to help us raise money. What a nice thing to do!
She taught Making Kraut on the 13th and is coming back on July 11th to teach carrot ferments at Wolf Brew. Thank you Noel! We raised $100 at the event. We are half way there towards funding our new site.
Noel is such a wonderful teacher. She is so enthusiastic and knows the topic well. Her husband educated us on some of the science and I learned a lot. I took her class in March at our Symposium and after taking this class I went home and tried making some kraut. It is in our spring house now fermenting. We are blessed to have a spring house, which keeps things cool as a spring runs through it. Otherwise, our home may be too warm to ferment right now.
We had a great dinner and a wonderful group of people. WolfBrew Bottle Shops strives to reduce waste and they had free beer tasting featuring Sierra Nevada beers, because they are so committed to waste reduction.
It was a wonderful evening. The food was amazing. It always is and usually vegetarian.
At the gathering we gave Maureen, a board member for Rise and Shine, a check for $100 to be used for the Rise and Shine garden shed. We earned that money working at the pop-up Indie Pop-up Flea Market. We had a silverware station for the food truck and a compost collection site. The event was so thrilled, they doubled our request of $50 and gave us $100! Thank you!
We have a wonderful loving and giving community. Thanks to all who joined us.
