Come discover the beauty of bees, beekeeping, and honey, and learn how to make mead! Mead is simple drink of fermented honey and water with a long, rich history that goes back thousands of years. It is possibly the oldest fermented drink known to man. You will explore the art of home brewing and learn how to craft your own mead by starting your first batch in class. Find out how easy, fun and inexpensive it is to create this ancient brew at home.
Everyone will take home a quart of mead to enjoy!?

The Dervaes family will show you ways to reconnect with this ancient food source provided by nature for sustenance and health. ??Over four decades ago, Jules Dervaes learned beekeeping from an old-timer in New Zealand. Now, his family farm grows rich, delicious produce for top local establishments. Find out how this is all made possible by honey bees, flying from hives kept at the family’s Annex.??

**Proceeds go to Food Forward, a local non profit in Los Angeles. We recover produce that would otherwise go to waste, and connect this abundance to hunger relief agencies in Los Angeles and four surrounding counties. In the last 6 years, we’ve recovered and donated over 10 million pounds of produce. Visit us as food forward.org to find out more about what we do!
