CFFI Joined the Global Fermentation Movement initiated by Jo Webster!
On February 1st, CFFI partnered with The Preserving Chef to host a World Ferment Day celebration at The Grove in London, Ontario — and it was a fantastic success!
The event brought together community members, health professionals, fermentation enthusiasts, and curious newcomers to learn, taste, and connect around fermented foods.
Highlights included:
- Research insights from Dr. Jeremy Burton and Dr. Carla Liria (Lawson Research Institute / Western University) on fermented foods and health
- A live sauerkraut-making demonstration and fermentation basics with Chef Connor Flynn
- Showcases and samples from local fermented food entrepreneurs and small businesses
- Community tasting, vendor exploration, and a fermented foods raffle
Thank you to all speakers, vendors, partners, and attendees who helped make this celebration of fermentation so engaging and impactful. We’re excited to keep the momentum going.
