Foraging Event Promises Hands On Lessons for Real Locavores

Looking for Lovage In All The Wrong Places? Join us for a FORAGING expedition with a local expert!

Yes, that is Jeff in the picture above, and yes, he was one of the “Toronto” chefs who took part in May 1st’s Slow Food Canada “Do It Slow” Banchetto.

Join Slow Food Hamilton for an adventure in foraging led by Jeff Crump, the Executive Chef of The Ancaster Old Mill! Learn how to find wild foods as the chef leads us over the grounds of the historic Old Mill and taste the best, freshest foods imaginable… perhaps you’ll discover these same wild foods in your own backyard. But first learn to choose the right plants and know how to harvest (or not harvest) them safely and sustainably, too.

Date: May 20, 2009, 6-8 pm

Location: The Ancaster Old Mill

Topics: Foraging, local ingredients, sustainability, delicious gourmet treats!

This event is offered FREE of charge, but please do RSVP — donations to Slow Food Hamilton are welcome. You don’t need to be a member to participate, but memberships has many benefits. Come learn about them!

PLEASE reserve by May 19, as space is limited: kcburs@yahoo.com
