Spring Foraging with Sam Thayer FULL
May 7-9, 2021
Weyerhaeuser, WI
Class Limit: 7
Cost: $325/person ($25 discount if pay by check or money order)
Time: 5 pm Friday to 2 pm Sunday
***Mask are required***
Spring is the rebirth of plant growth, a time when there is an incredible variety of edible shoots and greens available in every landscape. In this weekend we will be learning wild edibles in a variety of habitats in Northwest Wisconsin: hardwood forests of the Blue Hills, conifer-aspen forests, river floodplain, fields and meadows, swamps and marshes. Participants will learn field identification, what parts to use, sustainable harvesting practices, how to prepare the plants for cooking. Then I’ll show you some of the convenient, practical, and satisfying ways that we use these vegetables in delicious everyday meals. Spring is also a time for root vegetables, and we’ll use a few of these as well.
Students should be prepared to walk a mile or so. We spend about half of our time in the field, where there will be mosquitoes, black flies, and ticks. There may be an opportunity to wade (or you can watch from shore). About 20% of our time is spent in preparing and eating what we gather, and the remainder is discussion time at the class cabin.
Lodging is included in the price for the class. There is group style housing, with semi-private sleeping quarters (the rooms may be shared with up to 3 other people). Camping on site is also an option for better social distancing. Lunch and supper on Saturday and lunch on Sunday is also included. Breakfasts and supper on Friday evening are on your own. We will be incorporating foraged food into our meals, but we will not be eating an exclusively wild diet.
***Due to COVID, masks will be required ***
If you are interested in attending this class, please email: Sam@foragersharvest.com and he will provide you with a registration form. There is NO ONLINE registration for these classes.

Beginning Foraging with Samuel Thayer
June 9, 2021
10-11:30 am & 3-4:40pm
Wausau Public Library
Wausau, WI
Take a walk along the Wisconsin River and learn about foraging wild edibles with author and forager Samuel Thayer right in the middle of the city!
He'll lead a group walk that starts at MCPL Wausau and meanders along the Wisconsin River, where Thayer will discuss the basics of foraging and point out some of the edible delights many of us walk past all the time and don't know exist!
This is a great opportunity to learn from a foraging expert and spend a little time outdoors! We'll have two free walks at 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., and to keep it manageable for both Samuel and the attendees we have a limit of 20 people for each session, so registration is required. It's likely to fill up fast! No rain dates are scheduled at this time.
Call 715-261-7230 for more information or follow this link.
