Our Seasonal Wild Edible Plant courses focus on the different plants and plant uses of each season. These are one day classes. Each course is a guided walk through different habitats, identifying, collecting and frequent sampling wild plant foods, and pointing out harmful plants to avoid. Each course will cover approximately 40 plants, shrubs and trees, depending on the season. We will cover proper identification and use of these plants, whether plants are native or introduced, when and where to safely collect plants and conservation techniques. Each student gets an Earth Connection plant handout with full color photos and written plant information. A wild edible snacks are a part of each course. The wild plant snacks are prepared ahead of time, using some modern ingredients and the menu may contain some items with dairy, eggs and/or meat. Dates and Pricing

Join us for our very ab-original cooking class; often imitated, but never duplicated! Our Primitive Cooking course will teach the food preparation skills of our ancestors as we use traditional cooking skills to create a feast for the mind and belly. Cooking techniques will be taught and during the course students will construct and use a stone fireplace with reflector, a stone oven and a steam pit. Other cooking methods to be covered are rock frying, coal baking, rock boiling in wooden bowls and a deer hide, clay baking and an Algonquin style green wood grill "Barbecue". Eating utensils, cooking containers and other subjects will be covered. A lunch, snacks and a dinner will also be part of this course. The menu for this course uses some modern ingredients and some traditional ones; and will include many kinds of meat prepared in different ways. Vegans or vegetarians are always welcomed at any class, in fact Tim is 3/4 Vegan most of the week. However, due to the ridiculously high meat content in this curriculum, some folks may find this class unsuitable for their lifestyles and/or ethics. Contact us if you have any concerns. Friendly reminder.... This is our only course that offers a full lunch and dinner, all other courses require that you bring your own food. Thanks! Dates and Pricing
