Edible Alchemy CoLaboratory

Info

Fermentation has become a lost art. We are here to reclaim it as an energy efficient food preservation technique that connects us across cultures.

Geschichte

Natalie Elizabeth and Alexis Goertz are two Mennonite ladies with a penchant for adventure, and experimentation!
We are world travelers, artists, farmers, scavengers, gleaners and microbiological enthusiasts with a curious set of taste buds. It holds an infinite appeal to eat unusual things, things that are often overlooked and discarded but have unique tastes and textures. A modern, highly processed diet excludes a lot of things people used to eat more commonly in North America and still do more often in other parts of the world. The forgotten foods are usually the most nutritious items.

Years of traveling, farming, and cultural collisions have led to the formation of Edible Alchemy fermentation skill shares: events where participants are invited to explore the microbial universe through taste, smell, touch and discussion.

"Edible Alchemy’s journey with fermentation has been, just like well fed bacteria and yeasts, ever changing, forming, proliferating and expanding.Our love of food transformation and experimentation as well as our interest and understanding of how food works in our bodies is more than just tasty and healthy which would already be enough, right?. It is fun, creative, sustainable and works with global ideas on a local basis.Check out our website to see all the activities, events, courses and information we have to offer."
