Wellness in a Jar: Fire Cider for the Season
Saturday, November 8th, 2025 | 10am | $10 per family

Let's Make Fire Cider! Spice up this season and learn to make this traditional herbal tonic!
Join us this November to craft your own batch of fire cider—a traditional herbal tonic made with raw apple cider vinegar, herbs, veggies, and a touch of honey. This zesty, immune-boosting remedy has been cherished for centuries for its ability to support wellness, soothe sniffles, and add flavor to salad dressings or marinades. Together, we’ll chop, mix, and share in this folk tradition that’s as delicious as it is beneficial!

Important Information:
Participants must bring their own cutting board and utensils (knives etc.) to the program. Each participating group/family will receive one jar to take home.
(PLEASE NOTE: Participants must be over the age of 13).
