This festival aims to bridge the urban-rural political divide ‘in a time of rot’

Summary

A food and arts festival in central Wisconsin has grand ambitions. “Fermentation Fest” celebrates art, farming and all things fermented. But in addition to serving up sauerkraut and kombucha, festival organizers from The Wormfarm Institute also hope it provides an opportunity for people living in urban and rural areas to connect with each other.
