Trainer bio

Monique is a generalist. She divides her time between bushland management, teaching edible weed & fermentation workshops and teaching on the CERES  Permaculture Design Course. With a background in everything from philosophy to English teaching to working with the homeless, Monique brings her irreverent and humourous style of facilitation to her workshops. She has been teaching fermentation for more than four years, teaching from Confest to Bairnsdale. Since starting her fermenting journey by making sauerkraut, Monique has fallen in love with fermenting and culturing foods. Infamous for being hopeless at following precise recipes, she enjoys the limitless experimentation of vegetable and fruit ferments. Monique regularly invents fermented products from fermented pesto, mustard, chilli sauce, chutney and herb-flavoured effervescent drinks. Monique is interested in many other “heritage, permaculture and survival skills” which she sees as important for a low-carbon future, personal wellbeing and reconnection with self and the earth.
