Emily Makrez of F-word Farm in Dracut demonstrates how to make lacto-fermented vegetables in a free program at the Haverhill Public Library
Makrez’s workshop is Wednesday, July 8, from 6-7 p.m., in the Milhendler Room at the library, 99 Main St., Haverhill. Makrez will explain the lacto-fermentation process which uses a salt water bath to preserve vegetables rather than vinegar. She will explain the benefits of lacto-fermentation to digestion and as a way to preserve the summer harvest and prevent food waste.
Makrez is a regular vendor at Haverhill’s Farmers Market with her fermented products.
While the event is free, the library request that those interested in participating register at HaverhillPL.org as seats are limited.
