Join founder and owner of A Thousand Leaves Herb Shop, LeAnne Averell, for a hands-on workshop to create your own Fire Cider at the Giving Garden. This is an age-old traditional herbal preparation that has been used for centuries to deliver warmth to the tissues, help ward off immune imbalances, stimulate digestion, and support circulation. It is produced by compounding the most pungent roots, vegetables, herbs and spices and infusing them into apple cider vinegar. The outcome is a liquid-fire extract known as Fire Cider. Just in time for the coming winter months, when cold weather taxes our immune system, this workshop is offered to equip you with your own mason jar of medicinal goodness. Plus, you will gain knowledge to create your own fire ciders for years to come!

Attendees will receive all materials necessary to create their own fire ciders to take home from the workshop. Guests can expect to learn all about fire cider and basic oxymel medicinal creations. Join us from 10am-11:30am at our little farm to learn and create! Although all materials are provided, you are welcome to bring any ingredients you wish to add to your cider.

100% of workshop ticket proceeds are direct donations to the Gainesville Giving Garden, 501c3. By attending this workshop, you are simultaneously supporting our work to improve food justice in our community. Please note that workshop fees are meant to support the garden financially, as well as to cover the cost of the materials that are provided and to compensate our teacher, LeAnn.
