"I try to hook people with the fact that these foods are delicious.”

The ebullient Terri Ann Fox, founder and teacher at River Run Ferments & Bakehouse, is a fermentation enthusiast. Passionate about developing and making the most of local food networks, she teaches people how to make their own sourdough and sauerkraut and kombucha in Co Wicklow. With an ever-growing interest in fermented foods driven by a focus on gut health, people are drawn to Fox’s fermentation classes with the idea of making these products at home for themselves.
