There’s something brewing in the crocks, kettles and jugs in Reedsburg, Wisconsin, this fall. If it can be cultured or fermented, you’ll learn and possibly sample it at the Reedsburg Fermentation Fest.

From October 7 through October 16, the Reedsburg Fermentation Fest tempts the tastebuds of those coming to town with a series of tastings, cooking classes, brewing seminars, and farm tours celebrating local abundance. This year’s Fermentation Fest features the Farm/Art DTour – a fifty-mile tour of art installations, Roadside Culture Stands (artist-built mobile farm stands), pasture performances and Field Notes – rural culture education sites in Sauk County, Wisconsin.

From sourdough techniques to home-crafted beer secrets to yogurt and pickling made simple, the Live Culture Convergence has it all.  Award-winning authors and speakers, like Michael Perry and Terese Allen will also provide plenty of food for thought.

Fermentation Fest — A Live Culture Convergence

Is a Wormfarm Institute Initiative in collaboration with Sauk County and the Reedsburg Area Chamber of Commerce.  Fermentation Fest is made possible in part through grants from The National Endowment for the Arts, Wisconsin Arts Board, Sauk County Arts and Culture Committee, Alliant Energy Foundation and  the Wisconsin Department of Tourism.
