My first experiment in fermenting peaches to make a “country wine”. After a 5 day ferment, it tastes like a very lightly alcoholic peach spritzer. Sweet & refreshing. #StarFieldFarm

Just tasted all 3 of my ferments in process and WOW. They are all really good! The green peppers w/dried jalapenos have a cool pepper taste with a fiery bite afterwards. They’ll probably be ready to stash in the fridge tomorrow. The english cucumber spears are a garlicky half sour now. I’m going to give them 2 more days. The smokey brussels sprouts have good flavor, but need at least another week. And yes, that’s the wood stove in the kitchen as my auxiliary counter. #StarFieldFarm #hyperlocal #localfood
