Description

The hackberry/sugarberry fruit (Celtis spp.) has been used by indigenous peoples for tens of thousands of years.  In this special class focused specifically on this excellent but massively underutilized wild food source, you will learn how to identify, collect and process them into delicious food and drinks.  You will also learn about the basic nutritional content, and get to taste your own harvest!

The class will be held at the beautiful Prairie Haven located in Graham, Texas (about 1.5 hours west of Fort Worth).  This property is the home of the SkyEarth Outdoor Skills Gathering, and is an ideal location for learning outdoor skills of all types.

When: Saturday, November 7th at 11am-1:30pm
Where:  Prairie Haven Texas, 4139 FM 1287, Graham, Texas 76450
Contribution: $40 per person

Your signup includes 2.5 hours of hands-on experience foraging and preparing hackberries during our class, learning identification, the opportunity to ask questions and taste our hackberry creations (and maybe bring some home if we have plenty!), and a PDF detailing essential information on hackberries, including recipes.
