Fri, 29 Nov 2024, 11:00 am ESTBlack Friday Plant Walk
Tantré Farm, Chelsea, MI
Plant walks are excellent learning opportunities for those with beginning to intermediate foraging skills, and for anyone wishing to increase their knowledge of the local flora. Our discussion will include information about identification, methods of harvest, preparation, and use. We will explore the area and chose around 20-25 edible, medicinal, or otherwise useful plants and mushrooms to focus on.

Cost: $25. You can prepay at https://squareup.com/store/willforageforfood or pay cash at the event

Kids under 12 are free with paid adult. Walks are almost never cancelled due to weather (one time in 12 years), so dress accordingly. We will be mostly on trails, no need to dress for bushwhacking. You may want to bring a notebook, camera, and water. No other gear is required.

Fri, 29 Nov 2024, 3:00 pm ESTWild Mushroom Extravaganza
Will Forage for Food, TIPTON, MI
USD 60.00
Mushrooms are a mystery to many people. The Fungi are an entire branch on the tree of life. And yet, if you are like most people, you know almost nothing about them. This class is designed to change that! We will cover the basics of mushroom anatomy and physiology, discussing how these fascinating organisms live and reproduce. Then you will learn the essential features and basic vocaublary associated with mushroom ID. After we have talked about general mushroom ID, we will get specific, and you will learn to confidently identify several common, edible wild mushrooms that grow in our area. And a mushroom education isn't complete without a mushroom tasting. So you will learn this all while sipping wild mushroom drinks and grazing on a charcuterie spread filled with wild foods and mushrooms.

Cost: $60
