Two Workshops Offered

WILD EDIBLES AND TRADITIONAL NUTRITION WORKSHOPS
MARCH 30, 2013  10AM-NOON  and  1:00PM-3:00PM

10:00AM - NOON
COLLECTING, COOKING AND EATING WILD NATIVE EDIBLES WORKSHOP

We often walk right over delicious edible plants under our feet, without knowing what culinary delights lie below. Noted biologist and author, Dr. Marc Minno will take us on an enlightening journey through the world of wild edibles. Learn to identify what some call pesky weeds as you walk around the grounds then listen to how you prepare them and watch them being cooked. The grand finale is a sampling of these fine delicacies.


1:00pm - 3:00
TRADITIONAL NUTRITION WORKSHOP

Educator and author Marie Minno discusses healthy eating based on the nutrients that made our ancestors strong and beautiful, generation after generation. Look at simple hands-on techniques to evaluate and improve our health in this modern toxin ridden world. Guidelines for healthy nutrition, tests for nutrient deficiencies, and eliminating food allergies are among the topics to be presented. Questions and answers on specific interests including healing chronic disease and improving mental health will complete the program.
