How to Eat Local Year Round: Make Your Own Healing Appalachian Fire Cider

October 12 @ 11:00 am - 2:00 pm

$65.00 – $130.00

Boost your immunity with this fiery, folk herbal remedy! Fire cider is a spicy vinegar tonic infused with powerful local ingredients like garlic, onion, horseradish, ginger, and hot peppers. In this class, we’ll dive into the folk traditions, history, and politics behind fire cider while crafting our own batch using seasonal Appalachian herbs and vegetables.

Participants will enjoy a hands-on demo, learn the health benefits of each ingredient, and walk away with a ready-to-ferment jar, recipes and variations, and the confidence to keep the tradition alive at home. We’ll also cover tips for sourcing fresh, local roots and herbs, and customizing your blend to support seasonal wellness year-round.

What You’ll Get:

  • ✅ A full demo + guided fire cider prep session
  • ✅ A take-home jar of your personalized fire cider to ferment at home
  • ✅ A printed instruction booklet + digital recipe card
  • ✅ Herbal wellness and immunity education
  • ✅ Tips on sourcing local Appalachian roots and herbs
  • ✅ Optional label templates for your finished batch

Spaces are limited to only 15 participants to ensure an intimate and educational experience.
