Fall Foraging

There is an entire grocery store of delicious, local, wild foods just waiting outside your backdoor! This HANDS ON class, lead by foraging guide extrodinare, Chelsea Rowcliffe will focus on how to identify key features of seasonal wild edible plants. You will learn where and how you can ethically and sustainably harvest wild foods, and how to prepare them. Come ready to help harvest, cook, and most importantly EAT! The class will begin with a lesson on identification, rules, and tools and transition to a leisurely identification hike. Then it’s time to prepare, cook, and sample the flavors of the season! Our foraging guide, Chelsea, will have recipes, notes, and ID sheets to share.
