Thanksgiving Kraut Workshop: November 1st

Did you know serving sauerkraut at Thanksgiving is a Maryland tradition? This year, let your holiday table shine with a handcrafted jar made by you.

Join Meaghan Carpenter, Co‑Founder of HEX Ferments for our annual kraut‑making workshop — a cherished annual tradition for us. As Baltimore’s first fermentory making local, organic sauerkraut, we’ve proudly carried on this regional ritual of DIY kraut at Thanksgiving.

We'll start with a brief dive into the magic of lacto‑fermentation, history of sauerkraut in Maryland, then get your hands busy mixing cabbage, salt, and spices to craft your own custom kraut. All ingredients are pre‑prepped, and you’ll go home with one 32‑oz jar, perfectly positioned to ferment in time for Thanksgiving — plus a recipe to transform it into a cooked kraut side that’ll steal the show.

Class includes everything you need for fermentation fun, plus a refreshing glass of kombucha. Hurry! These classes fill-up quickly!

Ages 10 to 99+. No exchanges or refunds.
