Magical Mushrooms: Cancelled Aug 26. Rescheduled for October

Join us for a feast on August 30, with wildcraft expert, Ila Hatter
will speak at the Village Green on Mother Nature’s Secret Kitchen

Dargan is sponsoring the foraging tasting which follows her lecture. Also known as Wildcrafting, it means you use locally sourced and harvested elements from nature in your meal preparation. It might be elderflowers for a frisky drink, or sour grapes to perk up your palette!
Please include me in Ila Hatter’s foraging tasting event!

Hugh and I look forward to seeing you soon.

Cheers,

Hugh and I go out early mornings in the late summer to collect the elderberries and green apples from the marshy area in the pasture next to Dovecote.

Then we soak them in spirits and add specially chosen ingredients like huckleberry vodka, dandelion root, wild cherry bark and elderberry syrup. They steep for about 8-10 weeks. Then I finish them in the little charred oak kegs for 2-3 more weeks.

These bitters are delicious on their own or in a cocktail.

While supplies last ’til Thursday, December 17.

Cheers,
