Have you ever baked with acorn flour, or tasted the richness of a roasted bay nut? Wild foods are abundant in the fall season of the California landscape if you know what to look for. Local tribes including the Wappo, Pomo, and Coast Miwok have long held traditional ecological knowledge of these edibles. In this class, you will learn from local herbalist Autumn Summers as she shares how to not only identify these highly nourishing wild foods, but also the important elements of sustainably and ethically harvesting them. You will discover new and enticing recipes with a range of ingredients, as well as the nutritional value these foods can add to your diet. Discover how gathering, preparing, and eating foods from the wild can help you better understand the diversity of plant life around you and build a deeper relationship with your ecosystem.

From her first herb class over 25 years ago, Autumn has been exploring the many facets of herbalism. An avid gardener and wild foods forager, she teaches on how to grow your own herbs and how to safely and sustainably gather and use abundant edible and medicinal plants, seaweeds and mushrooms in Northern California at the California School of Herbal Studies. She is passionate about sharing this empowering knowledge with others in a responsible and interactive way.

This class will consist of a live multimedia presentation and include interactive time for Q&A.
