Wildly Nourished

On Sunday, we held our first Wildly Nourished foraging and farming event with Garden Variety Harvests and TerraVie Wellness, LLC.

Working with Maya Ittah, the girls walked the grounds of Lick Run Farm and hunted for 12 wild edibles that commonly grow in our own backyards. Not only was this educational and fun, but it was incredibly empowering to learn how to live off of the land!

Chloe Johnson of Lick Run Farm then taught the girls about the ins-and-outs of running an urban farm and helped them harvest some veggies. Using all of our freshly picked ingredients, we cooked a healthy and delicious lunch.

Wildly Nourished is a multi-part workshop series, and we can’t wait to do it all again in the spring! These events are funded by Roanoke Foodshed Network.
