A wild food conference and teach-in using the wisdom of the ancients in the context of current realities. The focus of this event is on the roles wild foods play in survival, primitive living, and simple living. Participants will learn about, use, and gain experience with a variety of wild edibles along with the techniques used to bring them to the table. Everyone attending will share their knowledge, ideas, methods, and wisdom based on their own experiences. Participants arrive and set up on Friday. The program begins Friday evening and ends on Monday noon. There is much more necessary information and forms to fill out at the web site: http://www.wildfoodadventures.com/gingerroot.html

What is Provided: Training, hands-on experiences, field trips, projects, and wild food roundtables will occur throughout the four day event. Camping space is provided. Vehicles are in a separate area from camping. We might be able to accommodate 2 or 3 self-contained small RVs by prior arrangement only (no RV services or hookups)! We will provide some meals and you will be responsible for some meals. Wherever practical, sustainable, and legal, we will snack on, or add wild foods to our meals. What to Bring: Sandwich food for lunches, snacks, fruit. Hiking boots, leather gloves, and cloths you can get dirty in. Prepare for all kinds of June weather for altitudes ranging from 300 to 2,000 feet above sea level. Bring musical instruments, songs, stories, and plant books you use. We will be 15 minutes drive from the city of Hood River if you run short of supplies. Bring an open mind - you may have to unlearn, relearn, or adjust what you currently know about wild foods. Bring a cooperative and helpful attitude so we can make this a great and memorable event for everyone.
