First, my new book, *The Art of Fermentation* has been completed and is in
production, due out from Chelsea Green Publishing in June. This is not
simply a revised edition of *Wild Fermentation*. *The Art of
Fermentation*is an entirely new book, far more in-depth, covering many
more topics, and
informed by a decade more fermentation experience, vastly enhanced by
having talked to and corresponded with many of you about your experiences.
I am excited to be sharing this and will keep you posted.

Another exciting development is that my fermentation school will be moving
to Walnut Ridge, an old homestead with an 1840s log cabin, next door to my
longtime home.

Eventually, I will teach workshops and host apprentices here at Walnut
Ridge, but first, the cabin is in need of much overhaul and rehabilitation.
I am looking for a small group of people to work on it with me (and
friends) this coming summer.
Homestead Restoration and Fermentation: A Four-week Residency
The idea is that over four weeks, with just a little of our time, we can
start and see through to completion many different ferments; while spending
the bulk of our time together restoring this beautiful homestead. Highest
priority will go to people already experienced with skills such as
carpentry, masonry, and plumbing, but there is also space for people with a
desire to learn by doing. If anyone with skills to share wishes to help on
this project but is not available for those dates, please be in touch and
maybe we can work out another time for you to come visit and help.
Please help spread the word by reposting this or forwarding it to people
you think might be interested.
Keep fermenting, keep sharing skills and good food, and best wishes for the
new year.
