Foraging & Feasting
Learn about the wild plants that grow all around us and sample some delicious foods made with these herbs, roots, fruits, and mushrooms.
Class runs approximately 2.5 - 3 hours
We’ll begin by taking a walk around Cherry Grove Farm as we identify and gather some fresh edible weeds and, if we’re lucky, some mushrooms. These may include chickweed, dandelion, mugwort, pine, and more. Herbalist Tish will show you how to make some delicious pestos, vinegars, soups, cooked greens, and other feasts with our freshly gathered plants. Tish will also discuss some of the medicinal virtues of each plant. Our chef and cheesemaker Christine will show you the mushrooms and how to make delectable dishes with fungi. We will finish by tasting our creations, which will be complemented with some of Cherry Grove’s cheeses, and maybe even some herbal cordials.
