Honey Ferments and Fizz @ Acre of Roses (Trentham)

It’s been years in the planning and now The Fermentary has its very own established Apothecary Garden housed at Acre of Roses. Our new book Wild Drinks was shot there - the Garden, designed by Sandy and Rob along with Tim Pilgrim, aims to provide all the herbs and old flavours we need for drinks. We have also moved our warre beehive there and the bees are loving it, so in January 2023 we decided a honey focussed workshop is just the thing. 

We will be creating a Wild Mead with rose petals and a Jun (similar to Kombucha) using herbs from the garden. We will also explore other uses of honey as a fermentation bed (for example, fermented honey garlic) . If the weather is favourable we'll be out in the garden - if not we will be cosy and warm inside Acre of Roses new Garden Room which overlooks the Rose Farm. 

Your experience includes a  2 litre jar with the green tea, honey and herbs and Jun SCOBY, made and ready for you to brew at home; a jar full of garlic honey (garlic grown at Acre of Roses) and a litre jar of rose petal mead, recipe cards and a  beautiful Fermentary tote bag.
