“Join us for the fifth year of Fox Haven Foragers. In this Level 1 series, we’ll visit some common favorites like milkweed, goldenrod, cattail and elderberry. We’ll also introduce some seasonal species to our forage like witch hazel, Paw Paw, sumac and aronia.

Fermenting blackberry leaves for tea, hunting for edible mushrooms, plucking ripe Paw Paw, cooking up cattail, propagating and stewarding wild species and so much more will be explored this year!Each Foragers class will include plant ID, foraging and processing the season’s bounty with local guides from diverse backgrounds and skill-sets.

Class runs from 9 am to 1 pm on the second Saturday of each month from February through November. The first 2-3 hours of class will be held in the field, gathering plants and learning botany skills. After a quick snack break, the last hour is spent processing and preparing the harvest into a tasty meal or a take-home medicinal.”
