Acorns - The Forgotten Feast (made easy)
Many foragers and naturalists are intimidated by this versatile edible, but this program takes all of the guess-work out of it in something the whole family will enjoy.
When most people think of acorns, they think of a bitter nut that is for the birds (yeah, sorry), but acorns are extremely versatile and can be used to make a delicious flour that you can cook with at home.
In this program, we provide all the hands-on teaching and materials to cook and eat a dish made with acorn flour that we get to share together. You will also have the opportunity to process your own to take home. A winter plant hike and intro to other tree nuts of Indiana will be added as a bonus to thank you for helping us celebrate three years of Trillium!
We will cover:
-
Acorn and Tree ID
-
Leeching Methods and Storage
-
How to use tannins to make leather
-
Campfire Cooking
-
History
-
And Much More
Bring the family and an appetite! See you there!
I will be sending out a liability waiver, small supply list, confidential health questionnaire, survey regarding interests.
