Exhibitors: Over 15 professional fermenters will offer samples and sales of locally-made fermented foods from across New England, including chocolate, fresh bread, kombucha, pickles, miso, and soy sauce.

Kraut Mob: Free, guided sauerkraut-making demonstration where participants create and take home their own fermenting cabbage.

Fermentation Help Desk: Expert-staffed station for questions about fermentation techniques and troubleshooting.
