The WNC Fermenting festival was incredibly well attended last year. The organizers brought together 27 various vendors and 8 demo instructors. Between 700-1000 folks attended. Five vendors sold out completely, and several more came very close.

Last year, $700 was raised for the Beacon of Hope Services Food Bank. The goal for this year is $2000, and we can easily achieve this. For this year’s event, look for expanded advertising efforts, more free demos, and more items in the Raffle. All funds raised during the event through the raffle, donations, and surplus operating costs will be donated to the Beacon of Hope Food Bank.
