Our Spring Foraging and Cooking Wild Edibles workshop with Kula Cloth’s Kula Academy will take participants on a foraging trip into the forest to find delicious wild foods for an afternoon snack. We might find enough spring greens for a salad, chickweed pesto, or nettle chips. Perhaps we’ll get lucky and gather some oyster mushrooms for a sauteed dish on the fire! Fresh made sourdough bread and a jar of forest-powered sourdough starter are known to tag along just in case we get snacky on the hike.
What to Expect:
Participants do not need any prior knowledge of botany nor local plants – just curiosity and excitement to learn. Our plant walks go slow and may include slowly “hiking” (walking on an unpaved, uneven trail) for 3-4 hours with minimal elevation gain in most locations. There is about 1 hour total of break time lasting 15-30 minutes, while the other 2-3 hours of the course are either seated instructional time while teaching about botany, cooking, or eating.
Participants will leave the workshop knowing how to:
Identify native plants, trees, and other wild edibles
Honorably harvest wild foods
Create some basic recipes for wild foods
Properly care for sourdough bread starter
Start and cook over a fire
Find additional resources to continue learning about PNW plants and wild edibles.
What to Bring to Class:
bring your pleasant personality and sense of humor
snacks, a lunch and a re-useable water bottle
rain gear just in case Mother Nature feels like delivering a little liquid sunshine
We promise a day filled with good vibes, positivity, and a strong sense of community.
