Speaking Place - Wild Fermentation Workshop

The Speaking Place workshops will be delivered by carefully selected, world-class artists and makers at Piccolo Family Farm as a part of the A Day in the Orchard festival. The workshops will be centred around the concept of 'Speaking Place', and will be delivered across a day of networking among emerging artists of various disciplines as a part of the A Day in the Orchard festival, culminating in a collaborative dinner in the Cellar Door and Experience Centre.

Registration includes participation in Wild Fermentation Workshop, meals including the Speaking Place collaborative dinner, and entry to A Day in the Orchard festival on Sunday 9th October.

Wild Fermentation Workshop -  with Adam James, aka Rough Rice

Adam James is the owner, operator and creative genius of Rough Rice – you’ll find Adam, along with his amazing jarred ferments, congee and things on sticks in the Grub Hub, Farmgate Market most Sundays. 
Whilst running Tricycle Café in Hobart, Adam became legitimately fascinated by the alchemy of fermentation. How with a little salt and time you can literally transform an ingredient into something completely amazing. He was mainly dabbling in quite simple lacto-ferments; pickles, hot sauces, sauerkrauts and kimchis, yet as a cook, the flavour profiles created were so so delicious.
