Ferment your food
Saturday 4 July 2020 at Bogata Suma, Croatia
Fermented foods and drinks not oly have a great taste; they are a boost for your health!
Store bought yoghurt doesn't have half as many probiotics as home made yoghurt. Same for sauerkraut*, kimchi**, turshya***, kefir****, kombucha*****...
And making it yourself is actually quite easy. All you need, you probably already have in your kitchen. (knife, jar, salt)
* Sauerkraut is fermented cabbage. With fermenting red cabbage you also bring in anti oxidants!
**
Kimchi is the Korean variety, with red hot chili pepper, onion, garlic and ginger.
*** Turshia is the Eastern European name for various fermented vegetables.
****
Kefir can be made with water and sugar (for refreshing waterkefir), or milk (the kefir you can get in shops).
*****
Kombucha is a fizzy sweet & sour drink, made of fermented black tea
In this workshop we will show you how easy it is to ferment vegetables or drinks at home. you know how to make all this yourself, and what supplies you need. You will get the special needs, like a "scoby" for kombucha and "tibicos" for waterkefir.
The workshop includes tea, cookies & a fresh organic lunch from our garden, a scoby and enough tibicos for a liter of water kefir.
Entrance: 100 kuna or some home made products

Practical permaculture in your life
Saturday 12 September 2020 at Bogata Suma, Croatia
with Barbara Scheltus
How do you do permaculture? How do you use ecologically based techniques to build a sustainable, regenerative landscape or life? How can permaculture ethics and principles help us to make sustainable changes to our lives? How to create a healthier and happier ecosystem for a peaceful, connective life and a positive, regenerative future?
This will be a day about designing and implementing permaculture ethics and principles in everyday's life.
Conscious design and action, even for city people!
You will leave the workshop with a personal design to improve your life.
We will use Looby Macnamara's Design Web, with a nice balance between theory and practise. Her Design Web is an effective toolkit that translates the use of permaculture ethics & principles, and helps you design for people based systems.
