Forage Fest! A Book Launch and Tasting Night

Do you love foraging, or are you foraging-curious? Look no further — we have the event for you.
Join us on Friday, May 24 at 6 p.m. for Forage Fest! At this event, we’ll celebrate the launch of the new book, Foraging as a Way of Life: A Year Round Guide to Wild Plants, by Mikaela Cannon (New Society Publishers), and also sample locally foraged goods by our friends at Forest for Dinner.
Cannon and Forest for Dinner will share their expertise in what will be an interactive evening of learning and tastiness. We hope you’ll join us! Books and products will be available for sale. This event is free, but please RSVP on our Eventbrite page, as capacity is limited.
