Fermentation Workshop with People's Probiotics

Historic Savannah Foundation and the Davenport House Museum proudly present the Artisan Spotlight Series at Historic Kennedy Pharmacy, located at 323 East Broughton St. in Savannah. The Artisan Spotlight Series offers immersive, creative workshops and provides a dynamic platform for artists and artisans to share their creative processes with local residents and visitors.

This March, explore the craft and history of vegetable fermentation, a natural process in which microorganisms break down sugars to create new foods. This hands-on workshop will be led by Erin Schafranek, the founder of People’s Probiotics, a local business dedicated to building community, preserving traditions and empowering people to take charge of their wellness one batch at a time. Designed for beginners and curious cooks alike, the workshop offers a relaxed, interactive environment with guided instruction, delicious tastings and time for questions. Participants will learn foundational fermentation techniques and create a jar of probiotic-rich fermented vegetables to take home. Additional jars of freshly fermented vegetables can be made for an added cost. All materials will be provided, though participants are asked to bring a sharp knife.

No experience is necessary to participate in Historic Savannah Foundation’s Artisan Spotlight Series workshops. Space is limited, and advance registration is required. To register, please visit davenporthousemuseum.org/public-programs.
