The Bountiful Bonanza of Bitters
Virtual Class
Though bitters are trending, they are concoctions that go way back! Back in the day, folks would eat wild, bitter greens because they were the first fresh food to pop up in the spring.
Today we have so many more choices for supporting our livers and protecting us from invaders like environmental toxins and hard-to-digest fatty foods and alcohol. Once you get used to the taste, you’ll actually start to crave it!
In this class, you'll learn more about what bitters are, their history, and how they function. Plus, the best part: get a handout with recipes you can make at home for liver and digestive love just in time for the holidays, fancy drinks for entertaining, and they make tantalizing gifts!
And get a link to the full-recording of the class!
Virtual Plant Walk
Explore the Appalachians from your couch, and learn how to empower yourself with your own free and vital wild food and medicine!
Join botanist, herbalist, and professional forager Abby Artemisia to meander through the abundance of wild food and medicine that can be foraged in the late summer/early fall.
Abby believes nature education is so important, especially information on wild edible and medicinal plants, to help us survive in these tough times. That's why she adapted her plant walks to a virtual format, to help you continue to thrive whether you're far away or COVID is keeping you away from group activities.
This plant walk in the gorgeous Blue Ridge mountains of North Carolina features:
Plants that you'll find throughout much of the central and eastern US. Plants included: Sourwood, Sassafras, Witch Hazel, Black Birch, Hemlock tree, Blackberry, Ragwort, Violet, and Mountain Mint. For a special treat, the following mushrooms are included, too: a variety of Chanterelles and Leatherback Milkcaps.
Information on how to harvest these plants and mushrooms sustainably.
How to use these plants and mushrooms in herbal preparations for a variety of health conditions and ailments.
The Family Method of Identification including examples of patterns to make it easier for you to recognize plants and how they’re related.
You'll get a private link to the video that you can access anytime and as often as you want, but please don't share the link - as we offer SO MUCH free education already, and every purchase is important to our small business. Feel free to email Abby about the virtual plant walk with your thoughts and questions!
