Home Vinegar Making with Sarah Arrazola from St Pete Ferments

Learn the basics of making a raw fermented vinegar with Sarah Arrazola of St. Pete Ferments. While there are a multitude of ways to make your own vinegar, we’ll focus on on how to make vinegar from basic fruits. This workshop will explore traditional aeration methods using local and native plants. Attendees will also learn vinegar making as a practical tool to handle food waste.

Sarah Arrazola, founder of St. Pete Ferments, is a St. Petersburg native and proud Floridian. Previously, she was co-founder of the annual Florida Ferment Fest, and has worked on organic vegetable and permaculture farms.
