Brightmoor nonprofit teaching canning, fermentation and food skills beside a free pantry
Beginners
No experience needed
Brightmoor Artisans Collective is a neighborhood nonprofit at 22735 Fenkell Ave in Detroit's Brightmoor area. Cooking workshops are one part of a wider food program that also includes a free pantry, a learning garden, a summer farmers market and a shared commercial kitchen for local food businesses. It holds a 4.6 Google rating from 96 reviews.
The workshops are practical. Carla McClure runs a weekly community food pantry. She has led a hands-on session from her "360° of Food" series on canning and dehydrating seasonal produce, with step-by-step water-bath, pressure and steam canning. Dee'tra Iverson of Love N Labor Botanicals has led a three-part Fermentation & Wellness series on Friday afternoons. Beginners are welcome, and you can come to one session or all three.
It suits Detroit residents who want to preserve, ferment and cook well on a budget, in a relaxed community setting. Don't expect a polished date night or a chef-led dinner party. Check the events calendar to see what's coming up next.
