We had an exciting weekend at the Birch Center for Health!
On Saturday morning, we had our Wild Edibles Workshop, which was a blast! We took a walk in Frick Park and saw:
- garlic mustard
- burdock
- chickweed
- cleavers
- motherwort
- mugwort
- plantain
- wild raspberries (not yet ripe)
- prickly lettuce
- dandelion
Then we returned to our beautiful Squirrel Hill location and we all made garlic mustard vinegar:
We sampled delicious food made with wild edibles, including Red Clover Apple Cookies, Plantain Crisps and Dandelion Wine. Melissa demonstrated Wild Green Smoothie, Mint and Lamb's Quarters Pesto, and Burdock-Apple-Ginger juice. (Recipes are available in our free eBooks, which you get when you sign up at Food Under Foot.)
It was a great time with great people! Thanks to all who attended.
Then, on Sunday morning, we were interviewed by Rhio, of NY Talk Radio!
Our interview - about both The Birch Center and our new Wild Edibles endeavor: Food Under Foot - will be on Hooked On Raw this week, and available for podcast ever after. We'll put in podcast link as soon as it goes up.
Our monthly newsletter will be out soon - full of very exciting upcoming events and in depth articles - if you're not on our email list, please sign up.
Also, if you are interested in Wild Edible Plants and haven't received our free 5-eBook series (starting with Burdock!), please visit Food Under Foot and sign up there.
Thanks and Live Healthy!
