Spring 2013 Classes Beginning...
Saturday, June 8th
9-11 am Sunnyside Farm @ 44th & Vallejo $25 per person REGISTER HERE... Learn to identify edible urban greens with the help of Kate Armstrong, a woman who knows her way around the local-est of foods...wild urban food Did you know you can find fresh food growing nearly everywhere in a City? And we don't mean in your neighbor's garden! Join Kate Armstrong on a food finding stroll through the Sunnyside Neighborhood. Wild and edible foods grow everywhere and it takes a trained eye to identify them and know how to best eat them. Kate is an Accidental Permaculturist and Urban Forager. She grew up on a small diverse organic farm in the 50's. The skills and knowledge from this childhood are now being used in an urban setting where she teaches 'putting food by', gleaning, foraging and the many uses of 'weeds'. Sustainability is a keen interest, especially when it helps bring communities and small neighborhoods together to create local food sources. Currently she is experimenting with fermenting foods, making her own bread again, and writing her blog: WhatGrandmotherKnew.com. Teaching is one of her passions and she brings broad knowledge and lively curiosity to her subject matter. Be prepared for the class:
