DIY Demo Booths at the Boston Local Food Festival

The 3rd Annual Boston Local Food Festival is coming up on Sunday, October 7, and I am looking forward to participating!

The Boston Local Food Festival is a "free admission and zero waste festival where you will find farmers, fisherfolk, producers and chefs selling and showcasing local food. Spectators of all backgrounds learn about the benefits of sustainably produced food, purchase delicious local food for $5 per serving, participate in educational activities, engage with top local chefs, enjoy local music and art, and taste local craft beer and mead. Themed 'Healthy Food for All,' the festival connects New England eaters with the abundance of fresh, nutritious local foods available in Massachusetts and stretching out into New England."

I will be teaching a "Home-Brewing Kombucha" Demo from 3:30 - 4 pm, and the demonstration will cover the basics of brewing and bottling kombucha, so that people know how to prepare it at home. Read more details about the demo and the other DIY Demos at the festival here. The festival will be held at the Wharf District and American Heritage parks on the Rose Kennedy Greenway, which is located near South Station, Faneuil Hall, and the Aquarium. Instead of driving, taking alternative methods of transportation is strongly advised, such as public transportation, walking, and biking. Here is a map of the Rose Kennedy Greenway, and for more details about getting there, visit the website for the Boston Local Food Festival.

See you at the festival!

Kombucha Demo at The Boston Local Food Festival

I am very excited to be participating in The 2nd Annual Boston Local Food Festival on Saturday, October 1. "Produced by the Sustainable Business Network of Greater Boston (SBN), the festival is built upon the principals of creating a local, green, and fair economy and promotes the benefits of eating local food and to offer a diversity of locally grown and sourced dishes at affordable prices of $5 or less."

The festival will take place along Fort Point Channel near the Boston Children's Museum (which is located at 300 Congress St., Boston, MA) and on Children's Wharf Park form 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. For more information about The Boston Local Food Festival, visit their website.

My kombucha demo will take place at the DIY how2heroes booth from 12:15 - 12:45 pm. Unfortunately, I will be unable to provide any kombucha samples or kombucha mushrooms due to regulations. Thus, the demo will focus on the basics of brewing and bottling kombucha, as well as how to grow your own/how to source a kombucha mushroom. There will also be other presenters at the Do-It-Yourself Demo tent throughout the day, for plenty of DIY fun! Check out the schedule for the DIY Demos here.

I'm looking forward to the demo, and I hope you'll join us at the festival!
