A Special Segment On Preparing Acorns: The South's Most Important Wild Food
Did you know that at one time acorns were among the most important foods in North America? Today most people don't even know they're edible...
That's because raw acorns have a bitter substance known as "tannins" that need to be leached before you can eat them. Once leached they're a delicious, healthy food just like any other nut!
Leaching acorns is an age-old process that has sustained people around the world for millennia, and in this workshop we'll be talking about how to do it!

Check Out the Map Below to See the Exact Region This Workshop Covers...
To ensure that each student is able to find the plants we talk about, this workshop covers a specific region of the Southern U.S. known as the Coastal Plain.
Plant life in this region is similar from end to end, so that students anywhere in the brown area on the map will easily be able to locate plants we cover in their immediate area!
As you start to move outside of this region, plant life slowly starts to change. If you live to the north of this region, most of the plants we discuss will still grow in your area, as plant life is surprisingly similar throughout the whole Eastern U.S.
If you live west of the brown area in central Oklahoma or central Texas, or if you live in the southern tip of Florida, there will still be some overlap, but keep in mind that plant life changes more drastically in those areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will This Workshop Be Recorded So I Can Watch It at a Later Date?
Yes! Workshop participants will be given access to the workshop recording and have access to it for a full year.
What If I Don't Live in the Orange Area on the Map?
Many of the plants covered in this course grow throughout the whole Eastern U.S., not just the area shown on the map. If you live north of the brown zone, most of the plants we cover will still grow in your area. If you live west of the brown area in central Oklahoma or central Texas, or if you live in the southern tip of Florida, there will still be some overlap, but keep in mind that plant life changes more drastically in those areas.
Will This Course Work For My Son/Daughter?
This workshop is aimed at adults, but all of my content is family friendly and great for high-schoolers interested in nature and foraging! After this workshop your kiddos will be begging you to take them outside to explore! Get ready for a mess in the kitchen after signing up!
