About this Event
We are surrounded by food! Learn to identify common edible wild plants in our area and their toxic lookalikes. We will find edible plants growing in the wild and discuss how each plant can be used for food and medicine, what parts of the plant are edible, and when and how to harvest them. You will also have the opportunity to taste wild edible plants that are currently in season!

Carrie Vrabel is a wild food forager and is certified by the state of Indiana and the state of Michigan as a Wild Mushroom Identification Expert. She is also the founder of Wild Edible Indiana.

About Wild Edible Indiana
The goal of Wild Edible Indiana is to teach people about the plants that surround us, and to encourage a connection to them by understanding their histories and their edible and medicinal properties.

Through plant walks, harvesting and cooking demonstrations, and hands-on experiences with wild edible plants, Wild Edible Indiana seeks to reintroduce knowledge about the land we live on and the plants our ancestors relied on for survival. It is a life-changing experience to begin to recognize plants in the wild and to understand the ways in which humans have used them throughout history.
