The 2013 Fermentation Fest will be October 4 to 13 – Join Us!

 

The Reedsburg Fermentation Fest – A food and farming festival with a focus on fermentation and fun!  *

There’s something brewing in the crocks, kettles and jugs of Reedsburg, Wisconsin. From sourdough bread to home-crafted beer, pickles to soy sauce, chocolate to cheese, compost to silage, the Live Culture Convergence has it all. Farmers, chefs, artists, poets and cheese makers converge in the beautiful working lands of Sauk County with a series of tastings, demonstrations, cooking classes, art events, brewing seminars, farm tours and more.

Our 2012 special feature will again be the Farm/Art DTour, a fifty-mile backroad tour of art installations, Roadside Culture Stands (artist-built mobile farm stands), pasture performances and rural culture education sites in Sauk County, Wisconsin.

* The photos you see throughout this site are from the 2011 and 2012 Fermentation Fests.
