<div dir="ltr">Hello Frantisek, <br><br>Thanks for the reply, we are of course also interested in a longterm collaboration, that's better for both groups i think. <br>What i would propose is to create a first meet on the weekend of the 11th. We have the space, we can hook you up with some couches and create an interesting first meeting. Maybe it is best that we do a call when some of you are available? <br><br>Kind regard, <br>Yannick</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">Op do 12 okt. 2017 om 20:59 schreef Frantisek Algoldor Apfelbeck <<a href="mailto:algoldor@foodhackingbase.org">algoldor@foodhackingbase.org</a>>:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Greetings Yannick and all,<br>
first of all apologies for late reply however Marcel has already shared<br>
the info on our project.<br>
<br>
I like the concept which you described as your project. From my point of<br>
view having a shop or restaurant where you can promote fermentation and<br>
generate resources by doing so to cover costs of your living is very<br>
good idea. Combining it with the "next level" experimental unit is a<br>
logical continuation and I can definitely imagine that establishing your<br>
place as a hub for fermentation activities in the future including<br>
workshops, presentations etc. would contribute greatly to the community.<br>
<br>
As Marcel already mentioned food hacking base "members" are spread all<br>
around the world and most of us but not all take the food&drink related<br>
activities as hobbies, however some of us are either doing fermentation<br>
professionally or are trying to do so (I'm trying to switch for it full<br>
time so I can make my living by doing so). I would definitely recommend<br>
you to speak with Machtelt who is based in Belgium and is very<br>
experienced in wide spectrum of fermentation, also she has been<br>
participating at fhb for years so she knows what we do and how.<br>
<br>
I've to say that doing something on the 11/11 weekend at your place<br>
would be very interesting for me and I think for others too. We are<br>
flexible concerning activities always trying to find compromise which<br>
suits all - long term collaboration is preferred.<br>
<br>
I think that would be enough lines for now, please let us know how do<br>
you see it with the 11/11 weekend, we could definitely do something.<br>
Talking about stuff in person is always best I think.<br>
<br>
Take care,<br>
<br>
Sincerely from Cherbourg, Normandie,<br>
