Kombucha is living tea! For the last decade, kombucha has been burbling into the collective consciousness. As more and more people are sick of being sick and sick of dealing with a broken medical system, they are seeking out healing foods. The medical community has also been seeking answers and alternate therapies to deal with disease. Through the Human Genome Project and now the Human Microbiome Project, research is just beginning to uncover our complex relationship with bacteria and discovering novel ways to use bacteria therapeutically. Kombucha is at the nexus of pop culture, cutting-edge science, and fermented foods, serving as a tasty gateway to nutrient-dense foods as well as empowering people to reclaim their immunity through the cultivation of this ancient tonic. Hannah Crum also covers the basics of brewing kombucha safely at home.

The Kombucha Kamp SCOBY Petting Zoo is a hands-on experience for kids and adults alike. Our bacterial buddies help us stay healthy and strong. Get up close and personal with some of the "good bugs" that keep our bodies in balance by creating delicious fermented drinks. The Culture Petting Zoo features Kombucha, Jun, Milk Kefir and Water Kefir grains that everyone can touch and taste. Plus, Kombucha Mamma, Hannah Crum, shares secrets of making these easy ferments at home to thrill the little ones and introduce them to the wonder of fermentation.

If you can brew a cup of tea, you can brew kombucha! As bacteriosapiens, we are bacteria-powered. That means the more bacteria-rich fermented foods that we incorporate into our diet, the better we feel. Learn how easy it is to enjoy the benefits of brewing kombucha at home for a fraction of the cost (while nourishing your human microbiome). The Kombucha Mamma leads this lively presentation and Hands-On demonstration, and participants go home with a gallon of kombucha to brew and their very own Kombucha Kamp SCOBY (a $25 value!). Note: An extra pass is required for this workshop. Space is limited, get your passes today.
