The sixth annual Austin Fermentation Festival on October 20, 2019, featured 6 fermentation workshops hosted by national chefs and artisans, a silent auction, an expanded farmers’ market focused on fermented food and drink, artisan vendors, live music, and a lot of fermentation fervor! We raised more than $9,300 for Central Texas farmers and ranchers. Thank you to everyone who attended! Photos courtesy of Andrew Sanchez.
