Join us for a day of demonstrations, workshops, knowledge sharing, and celebration of fermented food!
Location: Downtown Waterville
Demonstrations: Home fermenters and hobbyists who are passionate about their craft are on-hand to answer any and all questions you might have about fermentation.
Ferment Judging: Bring your creations to the Judging Table and fill out an entry card with the name of your ferment and an ingredients list. We’ll hold a formal judging with a panel of professionals – read more about our criteria here. Everyone is welcome to listen and sample!
Culture Swap Table: Bring a culture or two to share.
Workshops: Learn in-depth fermentation techniques from expert fermenters and chefs. We will announce a schedule of 2026 workshops in late summer.
Vendors: Sample and buy products from food producers and others.
