Puck’s Plenty Foraging: Strawberries, Nettles and Mushrooms
As an added bonus all participants will be receiving a box of Strawberries from Walch Family Strawberries just outside of Stratford along with assorted mushrooms from Fresh and Tasty Mushrooms.
One of the most healthy plants you can consume is the Nettle. We will be harvesting two types of this amazing species, the Slender Nettle and the Wood Nettle. Both help to reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure, aid in blood sugar control and are also used to treat Hay Fever. On the culinary side the recipes are endless. Nettle Soup, Nettle Pesto, Nettle Tea and, believe it or not, Nettle Beer to name but a few.
Along the trails we will also be searching for Turkey Tail Mushrooms, Pheasant Back Mushrooms and Day Lily Flower Buds.
Start time: 10:00 am, length: approximately 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
