This event is part of 5th Annual Foraged Food Festival.

The week of the Foraged Festival, participating restaurants, bars, and coffee shops (Tendrils) will be serving up food and drink using locally foraged, wild, and in-season produce collected by local foragers and educators.

Description:

We will start at the Catskill Fungi Mural to gather and talk about foraging ethics and harvesting practices, as well as an introduction to mushroom foraging. We will walk the property to learn about different plants and fungi we find and spend time harvesting knotweed, dandelion, and possibly some other wild foods for dinner. As we forage, we will talk about the culinary and medicinal properties of each plant and mushroom, as well as cooking and preservation techniques. We may travel down the road to find some patches of other wild edibles to forage and collect. 

We will arrive at the Peekamoose restaurant (3/4 Mile down the road) for dinner at 5:00pm  where we will be greeted with a foraged cocktail/mocktail and gather in the dining room.  Owner Marybeth Mills will introduce this award-winning restaurant as well as the delicious three-course foraged dishes prepared by her amazing chefs, before we say "cheers!" and dine on the delicious plants and fungi similar to what we harvested.

The ticket includes a foraging walk, welcome cocktail, and three-course dinner. It does not include tax and tip at the restaurant. Click on the picture below for the full menu.
