October offers a variety of foraging opportunities, from edible fungi and medicinal herbs to fruits and nuts perfect for creating your own liqueurs and cocktail mixes! Join me in Lynn, MA for a foraging walk where we will identify, forage and harvest numerous nuts (hickory, black walnuts, acorns), fruits (rose hips, autumn olives, crab apples), herbs and mushrooms (chicken of the woods, maitake/hen of the woods, oyster mushrooms, turkey tails, beefsteaks and boletes).

After the walk, we will gather for a fun and festive specially prepared and hyper seasonal wild food picnic, which promises to be especially epic. My foraging friend Andrea will be providing us with some of her most recent acorn dishes, while discussing how to process and preserve them at home.

Since this is my last forage and wild food picnic of the season, I’ll be bringing everything in my cupboard including a wide variety of wild crafted cocktails and mocktails to sip on – from wild sodas and shrub drinks to Nocino, Vin de Noix and my first ever ‘mushroom-port.’ The food menu will include a medley of mushroom preparations, fermented fare, foraged fruit leathers and jams and so much more! I promise you won’t leave hungry!

Come sample all the recipes I’ve been working on throughout the year, while gathering the last of the fall fruits, fungi and herbs available before winter hits!

Picnics include:

2-3 mocktails/1-2 Cocktails hyper seasonal drinks, shrubs, syrups, liqueurs, sodas, etc

3-4 small dish Appetizers (soups, salads, jellies/jams, quick pickles, dips, jerky, bites)

Main dish: Protein (veg and meat/seafood options) and 2-3 sides (seasonal fungi, shellfish, wild greens or tubers, etc)

Acorn Dessert!!
