Wild Fermentation Class Volunteer Application

Support Traditional Food Preservation Through Volunteer Teaching

Wild fermentation is more than a cooking technique—it's a connection to ancestral food wisdom, ecological health, and community resilience. If you're passionate about spontaneous fermentation, traditional preservation practices, and food sovereignty, our volunteer program offers a meaningful way to share your knowledge while learning alongside others.

This Wild Fermentation Class Volunteer Application is designed for educators, fermentation enthusiasts, and food advocates who want to support hands-on workshops teaching the art of wild fermentation. Whether you're experienced in culture troubleshooting, jar sterilization protocols, or simply passionate about reclaiming food autonomy, we'd love to hear from you.
