Susan Davy Library Programs & Promotions Team Leader

Cessnock City Library, in collaboration with Cessnock City Council’s Environment and Sustainability Team, proudly hosted Anna Axisa’s Healthy Living Author Talk and Wild Fermentation Demonstration recently at Cessnock Library. The event attracted a diverse and enthusiastic audience, all eager to delve into the topics of homesteading and sustainable living. Anna delivered an insightful talk, sharing her personal experiences and knowledge gained from over ten years of homesteading.

>A key highlight of the event was the wild fermentation demonstration, where Anna guided participants through the process of making their own sauerkraut at home. This interactive segment was not only informative but also engaging, allowing attendees to sample Anna's homemade sauerkraut and ask questions.

>Overall, the presentation was exceptionally organised, enlightening, and engaging. Anna’s expertise and enthusiasm for homesteading and sustainable, healthy living created an enjoyable and positive learning atmosphere.

This event was a wonderful community gathering, providing valuable insights and practical techniques for those interested in sustainable practices. I highly recommend Anna’s presentation to other libraries and councils looking to engage with community interest in sustainable living.
