Extend your Budget & Steward the Land ©
A plant identification series will take place once a month from spring to fall. Its focus: on Nature and Nutrition education. Beginning Wednesday, April 20th and then the first Wednesday there after, May thru October Marguerite Uhlmann-Bower R.N., Herbalist will lead the walk at various Delaware County locations, hosted by 6 county businesses: Quarter Moon Café’ - Delhi, Turquoise Barn - Bloomville, Tay Tea – Andes, Pepacton Health Foods Store – Downsville and Masonville General Store - Masonville, Harmony Hill Retreat Center - East Meredith.

A twofold purpose: ‘Support the Land that Feeds Us’, and stretch our budget with Nutritionally dense foods. Learn about responsible land and water stewarding as well as how to safely identify, process and preserve these nutrient dense garden weeds into a table food.

The first of the series will begin on April 20th, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Quarter Moon Café’s woodlands in East Meredith to forage various spring foods. We’ll then car pool back to the Café in Delhi to learn how to clean and store the wild foods, as well as taste a couple of Jonah’s preparations, pairing the wild edibles with some of his new homemade charcuterie products.

By participating in this grass roots effort, you will be supporting the education of people and community on the effects that gas drilling has on our environment, our health and our future. Donation per class: $15 person requested but if you are unable to, please donate something for Nature, but do come.
