A thought about the relationship between the Pro space and the Members space

One of the visions I had when creating The Fermentation Hub was that there would be a natural cross-fertilisation between professional fermenters and home fermenters.

As practitioners and educators, many of you hold an extraordinary depth of knowledge – and sometimes the smallest insight from a professional kitchen or teaching practice can completely transform how someone approaches fermentation at home.

I thought it might be helpful to share a little about how I’m shaping the tutorials in the Members section.

Each month I focus on two themes:

Seasonal
Making the most of what’s in season right now in your fermentation practice.

Intentional
Exploring a particular ingredient or process more deeply – often connected to flavour, health benefits, or looking at familiar ingredients in a slightly different way.

A few examples of the kinds of tutorials I’m running or planning:

Seasonal
• Fermented cleavers soda
• Wild garlic miso
• Fermenting green tomatoes (planned for late summer)

Intentional
• Beet kvass with additional ingredients to support heart health
• Onions – exploring them as the hero ingredient in a ferment
• Using Ayurvedic principles when making ferments (supporting the body
through seasonal transitions)

These tutorials are designed to be accessible inspiration for something people can make that month, rather than step-by-step beginner courses. There are already some excellent educators doing
that work – including some of you here.

Where someone wants to go deeper into the fundamentals or a full process, the Hub can always point people towards external courses or host a more in-depth masterclass on this platform if it feels like a good fit.

For example, Holly Howe’s sauerkraut session is positioned as a deeper walkthrough than a simple recipe, but still different from the full structure of her complete course.

If anything in your own work jumps out as fitting within the seasonal or intentional themes, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

And equally, if you have business or teaching skills that might benefit other practitioners here, let’s have a conversation.

Some future ideas I’m exploring include sessions on things like:

• How to run a fermentation supper club
• Hosting gut health seminars for visibility
• Expanding your workshop repertoire
• Creating additional revenue streams around fermentation

If something sparks for you, I’d love to hear from you.
Warmest wishes
