BACK IN STOCK.
Just a heads up that all of our new honeybee shirts, the children sizes of Farmacist shirts, and the Know Your Cuts shirts are finally back in (limited!) stock in our online store. The Ferment shirts will be back after WILDfest next month.- Hannah.
WILD FEST.
Next month, on April 19th at the beautiful Cedar Creek Vineyards, I will have the privilege of presenting at the same event as one of my greatest influences, Mr. Sandor Katz. The event is called WILDfest, a celebration of foraging and fermentation, and if you are anywhere within driving distance of Somerset, KY (and perhaps even if you're nowhere near), you should absolutely consider coming!Sandor––whose latest book "The Art of Fermentation" has acquired numerous accolades included a James Beard Award and reaching the coveted New York Times Bestseller List, and whose presence could be seen all over Michael Pollan's latest work "Cooked"––is a talented and dynamic presenter. For those interested in fermentation, this is a great opportunity to better understand the necessity of fermentation and perhaps some of the basic guidelines for making consistent and healthful ferments.As if you needed any more incentive, use the code Roughdraft15 when you buy your tickets and receive ten percent off the ticket price between now and April 1st! Hannah and I will have a booth there, and I will be presenting on natural homemade wine. The Kentucky Forager, Reclaiming Your Roots, Kentucky Heartwood, as well as famed naturalist and storyteller Doug Elliot will all also be presenting. It's destined to be good times and we'd love to see you there!-Jesse.
KENTUCKY GREEN LIVING FAIR.
Last weekend we went up to Somerset for the 2014 Kentucky Green Living Fair. It was really wonderful - we met so many amazing folks doing amazing things in our state. We hung out with all our favorite Bowling Green ladies, Jesse taught a workshop on fermentation, I ate Woodford Reserve bourbon bread pudding ice cream, and (more importantly) we took hot showers at our hotel. Success!We really love this event, and especially the superhero woman who basically runs the show all on her own - Jamie, you're the best.Thanks to everyone who came by and said hello - we love meeting you guys and hearing your stories.- Hannah. PS: We will be back in Somerset on April 19 for WILDfest - a foraging and fermenting festival with Sandor Katz (!) at Cedar Creek. Tickets are still available!
