Forage and feast on wild pesto in beautiful forest

experience

You’ll jump into foraging Alaska’s stash of vitamin rich plants often mistaken for useless weeds. We’ll seek-out seasonal flowers, berries, greens, and other plants used in traditional Native Alaskan foods and medicine. In early June we’ll forage for spruce tips and Arctic rose blossoms. We’ll also gather dandelions, clovers, miners lettuce or lambs quarter, plantains, and chickweed for our pesto. We'll meet at the big white barn, by the picnic tables. First off, we'll go over the seasonal plants. Then, we'll stroll along foraging plants and chatting. I love to answer your questions from plants to survival skills and most everything in between. We’ll conclude back at the picnic table for the final segment- cooking and snacking on wild Alaskan plants. We’ll start by making a pesto from our foraged plants. Then, have a tasting-picnic of pesto, Alaskan-wild jam, fresh bread, and herbal iced tea made from foraged plants. You’ll leave with a fresh knowledge of wild edibles and an appreciation of how native Alaskans survived here for generations. You may even develop a passion for foraging! *We’ll walk on dirt trails- no high heels please. *Dogs are welcome. They must be on leash at all times. ** For everyone’s safety, the tour will be canceled if the air quality index is unhealthy (130+ AQI) due to forest fires.
