Wild Foods

Fall Apprenticeship Course

---

Fall Wild Foods Apprenticeship is open for registration!

The fall program focuses on expanding culinary techniques using wild foods, creative plating for a visual feast, recipe development, wildcrafted herbalism, and developing a relationship with the natural world. Harvesting, processing, preservation, culinary skills, techniques and recipes will be shared and practiced with hands-on activities. Topics of ethical harvesting and regenerative practices are emphasized. The session will end with a potluck celebration dinner to put to use all the skills you have learned throughout the season. It is NOT required to take the Spring Wild Foods course prior to this course.

Session Begins: September 7, 2022

Regions Covered: While based in Southern California, this class focuses on plants that can be found in most regions across the United States. Culinary skills and the medicinal and nutritional information shared can be applicable from anywhere in the world. For those who are unable to travel to Southern California for the field trips, a virtual only option is available which includes all online content.

Class Materials: Students will receive a total of three Wild Path Mini-Recipe eBooks, one each month, with corresponding recipes, articles and suggested reading. Class recordings will also be available for students to download for review for those that could not attend live.

Community Building: Community is an important part of wild foods and foraging. Classes encourage participation and connecting with other students in the class. We begin as strangers but leave as family.
