Northwest Natura Land in Maple Falls
Join Naturalist, Jazmen Yoder on a day of foraging out in the woods. This course will take place on private and public property approximately 2 miles east of Maple Falls.
What’s included and what to expect:
The first part of class will be a walk in the woods foraging for various edible plants and mushrooms. For each species, we’ll talk about how to identify it, it’s edibility or medicinal properties, how to prepare it for medicine or food, and how we could use it in our meal later.
Expect moderate walking/hiking with frequent stops, self-led exploration, and a lesson in ethical foraging on public lands.
In the second portion of this course, we will build a fire and cook together with the plants we foraged. Using unique recipes, we’ll combine our efforts in producing beautiful culinary arts with a campfire and cast iron.
Recipes we will follow will integrate fresh produce and other ingredients such as cheeses, and elements to make breads, drizzles and dressings with our foraged finds. We won’t eat meals made entirely from wild foods for two main reasons: 1) wild edibles are wonderful and delicious but eating high amounts of new foods can upset the stomach if you’ve never eaten them before. 2) combining ingredients that you’re used to eating reduces the chance of stomach upset and teaches you how to integrate wild foods into every day meals.
Tuition covers the cost of the high end ingredients used in our wild food recipes.
These classes are offered on several dates and as the month progresses, new plants will become available. Thus, each course aims to incorporate different recipes and ingredients. Signing up for all three classes offers a discount of $50.
(Please note the location is subject to change based on available plant forage. You will be notified ahead of time if anything changes, and location will not be anywhere outside of Whatcom County or too far off the original target. Thank you for understanding.)
Things to bring with you to class:
Dress for the weather (warm outdoor clothing)
Snacks and water
Foraging Basket or Bag
Lightweight plate and fork
Notebook and pen (optional)
Camera (optional)
Your favorite field guide (optional)
Face mask or gaiter.
Something to sit on (mat or blanket)
Registered individuals will receive an event-reminder email a few days prior to the event.
