Wild Foods of the Pacific Northwest

This is a natural area, farm, and environmental/sustainability teaching center bordered by a river, has a stream, and contains some woodland areas. We will explore as many habitats as we can for wild foods in the time allotted. We will identify and sample anything we find that is in season and can done sustainably. There will be plenty of early spring plants just waiting to be tasted. This is the same workshop we've offered at 21 Acres for the past two years.

Following the workshop, for anyone interested, Kurt Sahl of 21 Acres will offer a free tour of the green building features of the Center for Local Food and Sustainable Living.

Be sure to bring hiking boots and clothes you can get dirty in. Dress warmly, prepare for the weather. Lets hope for a warm sunny day, but if it is not, cold and rainy weather can be enjoyable if you overdress in a toasty nest of clothing. We will be studying plants, not hiking, so you will have to depend on your clothes, not your exertion to keep you warm. If it rains, a wild brimmed water resistant hat is the best way to keep your head dry and your eyes free of water. Bring $25 cash or check if you think you might want to buy John's book. No credit cards please.

We will meet at the information kiosk at the end of the driveway at 21 Acres Center for Local Food and Sustainable Living.
