Biologist and Ecologist, Homer Elliott, will guide participants on a walk through the foothills of Appalachia in search of morel and ramp. Homer will guide you through the forest while discussing the fundamentals of edible mushrooms and wild onions. You'll learn about the ecosystem, terrain, and other clues to increase the likelihood of finding edibles.

After working up an appetite from the forest hike, participants will gather for a cooking demonstration led by Master Chef Vincenzo Sclama at The Lodge. Chef Sclama will share delicious recipes that incorporate the morel and ramp, as well as information about proper handling, storing, and cooking edibles. You won’t want to miss this one-of-a-kind experience!

Cost is $65 and those interested in participating can register here. 
(NOTE: Class limited to 12 and must have a minimum of 8 to run. Date subject to change for the optimum foray.)
