SUMMARY:Spring Foraging Walk Keele
DESCRIPTION:Spring Foraging Walk Keele\, Staffordshire \n \n \nCome join me in celebrating Spring with a foraging walk! \nThis is a mid week walk. \nEscape the indoors and come and immerse yourself in nature with a delightful foraging adventure in the heart of Staffordshire. Together\, we’ll embark on a journey to immerse ourselves in what nature has to offer. \nLed by Emma\, from Wild Pickle who is a passionate forager and lover of wild food\, we will begin a journey into the edibles springing up now. It’s an opportunity to connect with the natural world\, awaken your senses and nurture a beautiful appreciation for the flora that surrounds us. \nDuring our walk\, we’ll use our senses to learn to identify various plant species. We will have the chance to learn some of what is edible and what is definitely not! \nWhile we are foraging\, we’ll also delve into the ethics and etiquette of gathering our wild food\, whilst being careful and sustainable. \nI hope by the time our walk draws to a close\, you’ll be inspired and armed with lots of ideas on how to mix a few wild greens into your culinary repertoire. We will finish our journey with some wild food tasters. \nThis is a 3.5hr walk to allow us to enjoy the surroundings and plants. \n \nSo\, bring a flask\, wear warm clothes\, walking boots\, waterproofs if it is wet\, and prepare for a day of exploration. Our adventure will proceed rain or shine unless conditions dictate we need to cancel. \nDetailed instructions will be provided closer to the event date\, ensuring you’re fully prepared.

SUMMARY:Spring Forage & Ferment Wild garlic festival all day\,Bare Health\,Congleton (Sold Out)
DESCRIPTION:Spring Forage & Ferment Wild Garlic Festival All Day\nBare  Health\, Congleton\nSunday March 29th 10am – 4pm\n\nWild Garlic is part of our wild history\, used as far back as the Stone Age. Quite often it is a sign of ancient woodlands\, and growing in special and magical spaces. Part of the reemergence from Winter into Spring means heading out to these lovely places to find carpets of green\, with a scent of garlic\, maybe dotted with white flowers in amongst the spread\, there we gather some Wild garlic and to take back to create some wonderful flavoursome foods. Over many years Emma has brought family and friends into the woods to gather these delicious leaves just like our ancestors did. \n \nJoin Emma and Mel at Bare health to celebrate and explore ways to savour and enjoy the Wild garlic season sustainably and safely. \nWe will head out for a local forage for wild garlic and other spring seasonal greens for 2 hours\, come back and enjoy a seasonal wild garlic and spring green lunch together show casing all that is possible and explore through a hands on workshop 2 ways to preserve our wild garlic harvest. One way being a lacto fermented wild garlic. We will look at other ways from making cultured butter\, salts\, pickles\, crackers\, miso\, pesto and how to enjoy the plant throughout the season! \n \n \nWe look forward to seeing you there! \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Spring Forage & Ferment Workshop at Keele
DESCRIPTION:Spring Forage and Ferment Workshop\, Keele \nMarch 14th 10am to 4.30pm \n \nWelcome to Spring!

Since then various flowering cherries have been added around the campus to the extent that springtime on the campus has become synonymous with cherry blossom. This is now one of the defining features of the campus.  It is a National Collection and recipient of an Award of Commendation by the Japanese Ambassador. if we are lucky with our timings we may well see some beautiful displays! And of course you can create some delicious things with cherry blossom!) \n \nAfter a couple of hours of getting out into the beautiful landscape of Staffordshire\, Keele\, we will head back to the KPA.  \nLunch will have Spring interwoven through it to share what can be done\, and nourish you and inspire you!  \nWe will then spend the afternoon creating 2 ferments to take home and learn ways to preserve our harvests. Emma has spent the last 15 years fermenting and soaking up ways to enjoy the Spring and has a great love for food to share.  \n \nThere will be recipes available to be sent out via email to you to help you continue your foraging and fermenting journey! \nSo look forward to sharing this wonderful day with you! \n \n

I was left in total awe so many times as we tasted her delicious food as well as the most incredible nettle beer! birch sap! kombucha and of course nettle cakes! I don’t think I’ve ever felt prouder of the 2 special jars of kimchi and saurkraut that I got to bring home with me. … after a well earned stop off at the local pub for a half at the recommendation of Emma! Top day! Highly recommended“  Laura
