Ferment Fest: Cobblestone's 1st Happening

Cobblestone LOCAL equals 50+ independent Piedmont food businesses in one place!

What is a Cobblestone Happening? What the heck is a Ferment Fest? A food focused fundraising event within the Cobblestone Farmers Market that brings in new folks, a market breakfast and creative food fun in the demo booth by our vendors and culinary friends!

Sneak Preview Notes: a new brew master is in the mix collaborating with our own Sungold Farm for essential ingredients…hmmm, a taste of beer, a taste of kombucha and a taste of SHAKSHUKA. Read on for more details under 'The Gettin' is Good'!

Fall FUN is about to go down - grab that warm jacket, bags and your mug to enjoy every aspect of market tomorrow - FERMENT Forward!

THE GETTIN’ IS GOOD

COME ON DOWN FOR SOME GOOD STUFF!
Join us this weekend for our first HAPPENING, a mini-FUNDRAISER during market hours - opening at 8:30am! We have some special guests in addition to some vendor collaborative CONCOCTIONS to light your tastebuds up with delicious ways to add ferments into your cooking mix! Sneak Preview: Niki's Pickles and Buffalo Creek are doing a taste tango - find them at the demo table in the Fest area. Map attached and on FB!

Music will be all over the market - tunes to enjoy SHAKSHUKA by Chef Matt Pleasants! Matt snagged 'maters from our market vendors in advance to make his rich sauce as the base for this dish featuring kimchi, eggs from Harmony Ridge plus other Cobblestone vendor delights!

Our Cobblestone Market vendors have wonderful things in store for you and we cannot wait to share the goodness.

$5 gets you into the event area for tastings

$10 gets you into the event area with tastings and a fabulous Shakshuka breakfast from Chef Matt Pleasants

ALL proceeds go to support the market and its programs! You will not want to miss this fun HAPPENING, the first of many!
