Saturday's weather is looking great for the 3rd Annual Plymouth Pickle & Fermentation Festival! We have lots of drinks, food, music, education, and fun!!

Quench your thirst with fermented beverages including beer, wine, cider, mead, kombucha, tepache, jun, and coffee. We also have root beer for the kids.

Tempt your taste buds with kimchi, pierogi, pizza, donuts, ice cream, sauerkraut, and (of course), all things PICKLED!

Learn something new about fermentation such as anaerobic composting, homebrewing, different bacteria/yeast that help your gut microbiome, spying on yeast under a microscope, and make your own sauerkraut.

This year we are adding a culture swap - trade your SCOBY for sourdough starter.

So dive into a day of pickling and fermenting fun at IndieFerm. It's going to be a big dill.

See ya Saturday.
