SUMMARY:HANDS-ON CLASS – Wild Foraging
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a foraging class at Onion Creek Farm, where we’ll explore the natural abundance of edible and medicinal plants growing in our local landscape. Led by Crystal Jewell, a Neuroscience Graduate Student at Iowa State and Science Communicator, this class will teach you how to identify, harvest, and use a variety of wild plants safely and sustainably. We’ll cover key identification techniques, ethical harvesting practices, and traditional uses of native and naturalized species found on the farm. Be prepared for a leisurely walk on uneven terrain. Bring a notebook, a field guide (if you have one), and a sense of curiosity!\nClass Location: Due to limited parking at Onion Creek Farm, we will meet at Lockwood Cafe (4625 Reliable St #3713, Ames, IA 50014) and carpool together from there. If you are willing to be a driver, please reach out and let Sheba know at events@wheatsfield.coop or call 515-232-4094. It is 1.5 miles between the parking lot and the farm.\nPLEASE NOTE: Attendees will be allowed to forage invasive species. Please follow the instructions given by the instructor about what we are allowed to pick.\n\nMeet the Instructor!\nCrystal Jewell M.S. is a science communicator and PhD student studying the neuroscience of mindfulness. Outside of academia, she nourishes her passion for food sovereignty through foraging, gardening, herbalism, and experimenting with traditional food preservation.\n
