WNC Fermenting Festival

About the Event

Cultivate Our Community with this uniquely tasteful event, at Olivette Farm Stand at  172 Old Macedonia Rd., Alexander NC. FREE to attend, with any donation proceeds benefiting the local food pantry Beacon of Hope Services. Local and regional fermenters will be presenting their products with several hosting free fermenting demonstrations and sharing skills in preparing beneficial food and drinks such as jun, koji, gluten free sourdough, ciders/fruit wines, animal food, chocolates, and vegan cheese.  Vendors will share their products, information, and resources on the benefits of eating probiotic rich and locally grown fermented foods. Live printed t-shirts, ceramic artists, farmers, food trucks, local resources and other treasures will be on site. This family friendly event is designed to bring all members of Asheville, greater WNC and surrounding localities together to honor each other and our communities through the support of fermentation, food preservation, farming, and food security.

Farm Tours Will Also be given by Olivette during this time and musical guest Your Friends Band will be joining us again this year!

We want to hear from you if you have an event to share or updates to this event.
