17 Jan 2026: Sourdough Bread Basics
1-2:30 In this workshop, we'll make a loaf of sourdough bread together, and you'll go home with a loaf of bread that you shaped yourself, plus some sourdough starter to get you started on your sourdough journey. I'll talk you though various kinds of sourdough, rise times, feeding your starter, and fitting sourdough baking into your regular schedule. I'll also briefly touch on adding things, like beetroot, to your bread, and making other baked goods with sourdough discard.

15 Feb Composting workshop
9-10:30, 15 Feb Composting is one of the most valuable skills anyone can learn, and it is easy once you have the basics down. You'll be able to adjust your system to suit your context (big or small!). It's the closest thing to magic! We'll cover: Hot Composting, cool/slow composting, moisture, C:N ratios, vermicomposting (worms), chop and drop, and a basic overview of fungally versus microbially dominated compost. I'm not a compost professional, but we've been making our own compost for 10 years and growing from this process. This workshop is meant as an overview -- there'll be other times in the year when we'll have a deep dive into specific types of composting.
