What we’re about
Want to reconnect with Earth, eat healthy, get exercise, learn new skills, and meet great people? This is a group for folks interested in sharing knowledge on foraging and living from the land. All skill levels and ages are welcome. We hold a variety of classes for our members. The topics of these classes are chosen based on member interest and range from edible and medicinal plant walks to mushroom growing to cooking classes to tanning and primitive tool making. Fees for these classes will vary.
Due to the nature of our activities, some of our events are held in areas that are not accessible to those with limited mobility. This will be noted in the event description. We never want to exclude anyone from classes due to cost, so if you cannot afford the fee please contact the instructor to discuss barter or work study.

See all- Exploring Wild Flours- A Pancake AdventureWFfF, TIPTON, MI
This is a little bit of a drive, but it's a really unique opportunity at a great price, so I wanted to offer it here.
Flours are powders made from various plant parts that are typically used in baking. Wild flours can be made from many different plants. In this class, you will learn about 5 of them: Chestnut, Acorn, Cattail, Dock, and Wild Rice. All of these plants were staple food sources for countless generations of humans, and each of them is processed in a different way. We will talk about those processes and demostrate the various steps involved in preparing each of them to be ground into flour. Then we will make pancakes so that you can see how the various flours work in a recipe and taste test the results.
Wild flours do not have gluten and cannot simply replace wheat flour in most recipes. Typically wild flours are used in combination with wheat flour. So our pancakes will contain wheat flour as well as the wild flours. If you have a gluten allergy, please contact me when you register so that I know how much gluten free pancake mix I need to have.
Cost: $60, includes dinner
