Make your own bokashi bran in this fun, hands-on workshop and learn how it’s used to ferment food scraps into nutrient-rich compost. Bokashi composting is an anaerobic process that breaks down food scraps in a sealed, air-tight container using beneficial microbes. Bokashi bran is the key ingredient—it’s a grain-based material inoculated with these microbes, which jump-start fermentation and make it possible to compost foods like meat, bones, and dairy. After fermenting, scraps are added to a compost pile to finish decomposing, helping speed up the overall composting process. Participants will leave with enough bokashi bran to ferment up to 20 gallons of food scraps, making this workshop ideal for adults looking for a simple and effective way to sustainably manage food scraps at home all year long.
