This NEW intermediate level class builds upon our 17 consecutive years of experience teaching wild edible plants to the public, and bringing delicious wild foods home for so many people. This class is designed for students who are well past "beginners", and already have solid plant identification skills with wild edible plants.
The Advanced Wild Edible Plant classes of each season will show you how to use and enjoy the wild foods of that season. The class will focus on collecting, storing and using common and tasty wild plant foods, while avoiding look-a-likes and avoiding mistakes. This hands-on learning experience will show you the best ways to dry and store tea plants; how to make dried wild fruits and veggies; quick pickling techniques and the best plants to pickle; the best and worst wild plants to freeze; how to make jams and jellies; how to cook with wild plant foods; Tim's favorite wild recipes; and wild plant conservation techniques. Each student gets a copy of our Earth Connection Advanced Wild Edible Plant book for that season with full color photos and written plant information, created specifically for this class. Wild edible snacks and plant cooking are also part of each of these courses throughout the year.
