Join City Market for a foraging walk at the Intervale Center!

With its history and ease of access, The Intervale is the perfect place to go and learn about some of the wonderful foraged foods and flavors we can find in Vermont.

On our plant walk, we will meet at the Intervale and have an initial discussion about safety, guidelines, and have a quick “get to know each other.” As we walk, we will learn about a number of different plants, and perhaps fungi, along the way and ways that they can be used in the kitchen and maybe in some other ways. We will also discuss the history of foraging in Vermont and of the uses of the various things we find, the connection that the practice can provide to the people who came before us, and what the practice of foraging means to each of us. When we hear foraging many of us immediately just think of mushrooms, and while they are great, there is also an abundance of delicious and other useful things we can forage that we can sometimes find simply right in our back yards. This will be a fun walk and learning experience and a great opportunity to share some time outside with like-minded folks and embrace all that the fine earth has to offer.

Thank you to our sponsors City Market and Gardener’s Supply Company for making Intervale Center events possible!
