Build your apothecary during the Fall Festival!* Join Village Markets director and local herbalist, Kassie Dawn, for their Fire Cider Workshop on Saturday, October 26th, held indoors at the Swan River Community Hall in Bigfork, Montana. Two time slots are available (12-1:30pm and 2pm-3:30pm). 12 participants max per time slot.
What is fire cider? Fire cider has been widely used over the centuries as a traditional herbal tonic, or oxymel, by actively supporting your vitality and stimulating digestion whilst warming the body with fire-y ingredients during cold months ahead.
The Fire Cider Workshop is an immersive kitchen apothecary experience that combines basic kitchen skills and herbalism. Participants are invited to indulge in their culinary senses and assist in preparing a quart jar of fire cider. This workshop focuses on the basics of Fire Cider preparation, a unique infusion of antioxidant-packed alliums, peppers, warming spices, roots, and culinary herbs.
We will be working with common allergens, like cinnamon, amongst other ingredients. If you have a known food allergy, we advise that you skip this workshop as many ingredients will be passed around the table. All ingredients and materials are provided. Participants are encouraged to bring an apron. Note: parking is located across the road at Swan River Elementary School.
*We will be hosting our 3rd Annual Fall Festival during this event! Shop at the artisan booths, enjoy live music, capture memories at the photo booth, enter in the raffle, and visit the food and beverage trucks! This is a family fun event — costumes encouraged! (Free admission apart from the workshops. Fees may vary.)
