Herbal Beverages and Mocktails
Capture the flavors and fragrances of spring in herbal drinks! In this workshop, we will create refreshing non-alcoholic beverages perfect for everyday enjoyment or special occasions. We’ll make three drinks together while learning recipes for the components of each one. For each herb highlighted in the beverages, we'll discuss how to source the herb and its medicinal benefits. Participants will walk away knowing how to make herbal syrups, bitters, shrubs, and herbal electrolyte beverages. Everyone will go home with 8oz of a shrub we make in class together!

Spring Wild Food Walk
Every plant has a purpose (even those we may think of as weeds)! In this class, we will celebrate some of the first plants to wake up in the spring.

This walk will be led by Violet Reed and held at our Fresh Roots Farm on April 11th from 2-4pm. Plants covered in this course will include nutrition-packed wild edibles like chickweed, purple dead nettle, garlic mustard, dandelion, and more.
