Wild Stories is a celebration of old ways in an ever-changing new world: foraging, making, healing and connecting>

Wild Stories is a series of workshops, skill sharing activities, cooking classes, story-telling events for young and old, green thumbs and not, as we all have a wild story to tell.

We are looking for recipes, crafts, harvesting techniques, folklore and magic, romantic tales and poor-man medicine, in order to showcase the multiplicity of stories that plants carry.

It is intention of the project to record this stories, to re-tell them to the young ones, to preserve and celebrate.

“I just watched a video of you cooking biscuits with fennel. My mother loved making spinach and feta pies with fennel that we would pick from the side of train tracks. For some reason, the train track fennel always tasted better than the garden grown fennel. I wonder what other weeds you can use in cooking. Are you going to write a little cook book one day?”
