About the event
Autumn is steadily creeping in, bringing with her colourful cloak an abundance of wild edible seeds, nuts, fruits, berries and roots. So we bring them to your plate, incorporated in delicious and unique dishes, re-wilding your palate and your mind with their wild flavours, aromas and stories.
By bringing the edible earth to you, we aim to encourage wellness, connection and sustainable living in our communities (human, plant and animal alike). In the spirit of making meaningful connections and encouraging deeper understanding of each other and the land, we will share food and drinks together in a circle, allowing for storytime to emerge naturally and for an easy and friendly environment in which to try some yummy food, meet some new friends and get to know some of the seasonal edible wild plants of the local land.
This event is ideal for families but it is not exclusive. All ages and backgrounds are welcome. If you have any food allergies, let us know in advance.
