Description
This 6-hour, hands-on class will take place on a beautiful ranch under towering stone buttresses outside Loveland, Colorado. The day starts with a morning plant walk, safety and sustainability discussion, and hands-on foraging and food preparation to create one or more wild dishes to enjoy with our lunches. In the afternoon we’ll see more plants, followed by more food prep/tasting of plants we haven’t yet explored, a tour of the wild food literature, and/or a longer plant hike, depending on time and what we decide as a group. I’ll be ready for all possibilities! At this property we’ll learn edible plants that grown in disturbed settings (weeds!) as well as native plants common to high prairies, like prairie onions and biscuitroots. There is always the possibility of a few morels and oyster mushrooms, as we have found them here before, but no promises. It will be a great day no matter what. I hope to forage with you!
