Forage and Feast at Lindisfarne with Jill Shaffer

Saturday, September 5th * 10:00am - 12:00pm

Join hostess Lindesfarne owners Andy and Cathrine King and Plant expert Jill Shaffer on a food adventure. You will need your walking shoes, a notebook & pen, a camera, and a shopping bag as you walk part of the 80 acre homestead to learn about nature's abundance. Things you think are weeds are edible, nutritious and delicious!

Along the walk, Jill will point out various plants and how they can be used for food. You can pick some for your use. Her knowledge and enthusiasm for foraging and cooking with these surprising plants is matched by her kitchen skills. After the walk, folks will gather for some tasty treats prepared by Jill for the event, including a soup, a salad and quiche made with foraged ingredients.  Please be prepared to walk on uneven ground and to be in nature, including an outdoor composting toilet and a dry sink. Bring your own beverage.
