👨‍🍳🏫 What a great afternoon presenting on fermentation at School Food For All- Nourishing Futures in Montreal!
A big thank you to putterspickles for providing a wonderful selection of fermented foods for everyone to sample.
Events like these highlight the important connection between food, health, and learning. Providing students with nutritious, wholesome foods helps support brain development, concentration, memory, and overall well-being. When we nourish our students with healthy foods, we help create the foundation they need to thrive both in and out of the classroom. 📚
Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the discussion about building healthier futures through food education and access to nourishing meals. 🍽️🏫
As always, during our presentations, we are proud to promote the Canadian Fermented Foods Initiative and Masontops, highlighting the incredible work being done to support fermentation education, healthy food choices, and the growth of Canada's vibrant fermentation community.

There’s nothing like freeze-dried strawberries for a snack. 🍓
Fresh bag from the pantry and already disappearing fast. Give this bag an hour, and it’ll be completely devoured.
Crunchy, sweet, and impossible to stop eating.

We checked on our fermented asparagus and they were finally ready! We packed them into jars and even ended up with a couple extra jars filled with brine and garlic. They are delicious and kid approved! 🌿🧄🫙
