Meet James, Jeanne and Anna.

The Fermentarium is dedicated to the small-scale production of fermented food and drink. Since 2014, the team has been running workshops and courses in Walthamstow, London, with a focus on hands-on learning. Initially, the focus was on making sourdough bread, but in March 2016, Anna joined the team and additional courses were introduced, including kombucha, soft fermented drinks, cultured condiments and dairy fermentation.

The team is made up of experienced professionals with different areas of expertise. James runs the sourdough workshops, teaching people how to make their own bread. Jeanne, who has a Master's degree in the Anthropology of Food, teaches the lactic fermentation classes and provides an insight into the fermentation process. Anna runs the courses on kombucha, fermented milk, soft fermented drinks and cultured condiments, offering a wide range of fermentation techniques.

At The Fermentarium, participants are guided through practical, hands-on lessons where they learn essential fermentation skills. Whether you're new to fermentation or have previous experience, their workshops will give you the tools and knowledge to confidently create your own fermented foods and drinks.
