SUMMARY:Fermentation Friday - Festive Ferments
DESCRIPTION:Fermentation Friday takes place at the University of 海角社区 in Orono. During Fermentation Friday\, held at the U海角社区 Food Lab in Hitchner Hall\, participants cook\, create\, share\, and connect. Using recipes as starting points\, we explore fermentation\, storytelling\, food rescue\, and local food systems. Over the past four semesters\, we have hosted authors and chefs who have enriched our sessions with their expertise. \nAt the heart of the Fermentation Friday program is a commitment to foster deep connections. We strive to provide hands-on experiences that empower individuals to ferment and share stories while learning through observation\, exploration\, and reflection on our human relationship with microbes. \nFermentation Friday 鈥媔鈥媠 a cross-disciplinary space\, and it is our hope that it will 鈥嬧�媠park curiosity in 鈥媡he exciting emerging sciences that depart from our understanding of fermentation processes鈥�.
