Alpine Berries and Vinegars - Methow Valley


  • Raven's Roots Naturalist School 100 Harris Avenue Bellingham, WA, 98225 United States (map)

We will meet up for an abundant berry harvest at a private berry spot then make an array of wild berry concoctions!

What we will harvest: wild blueberries and huckleberries, blue elderberries, and chokecherries. Possibly king boletes is the weather permits!

What we will make: Wild fermented berry vinegars with guest teacher Gabe Garms. Elderberry syrups with the addition of immune boosting and anti-viral herbs we have harvested in previous classes. Plus traditional pounded chokecherry cakes that we dry as an ingredient for our fall feast in October.

We will also go swimming at my favorite spot nearby. As well as finish up any crafting projects that need completing.

Later Event: September 17
