Part of living with the land is learning the story

Part of living with the land is learning the story. Working with the land, co-creating with her means listening, watching before proceeding.

On the land here, The Sacred Gardener Farm, we move through many storylines: travelling through and around wetlands, mature forests and fields.

There’s a boardwalk that moves through these places that people here for the School travel across a few times a day, listening, immersing themselves in the transition between worlds as it passes through a wetland, giving them a chance to listen, feel their own transformation, their own story.

Every year we collect many different wild seeds for food and seed.

Lamb’s quarters, amaranth, peppercress and yellowdock seeds to name a few that we have in abundance most years.

After seeing a recent post by one of our greatest food inspirations, @pascalbaudar, where he harvests dandelion seed, we knew we’d have to give this one a go, as there’s no shortage of dandelions going to seed here right now. They were a super easy and satisfying harvest.

One more to add to our wild flour mixes! Plus Pascal says they make great sprouts too!

Join us for our wild food workshop coming up at the end of June on the farm, link in bio :)

Our third day of the Grounded Wellness series toda

Our third day of the Grounded Wellness series today here on the farm, a partnership with @pikwakanaganfn.

We met many wild plants, talked about when to harvest and how to eat them, and started planting some corn and beans.

First picture is the lunch Megan served, her version of hot and sour soup. Broth of wild mushrooms, root veggies and burdock. In the soup, julienned carrots and burdock we harvested today. Nettle greens and milkweed buds we dehydrated last year, rehydrated in the soup. Beef meatballs with honey infused garlic, sesame oil and tamari. (Come to Megan’s food workshop end of June! Link in bio)

Second pic is burdock, third is Danielle with a budding peppercress.

This program is free for all members of Pikwakanagan, send us a message for more info!

After a big rain, many dryad’s saddle mushrooms

After a big rain, many dryad’s saddle mushrooms appeared in familiar spots. These shelf mushrooms, also called pheasant back, love the dead elms and Manitoba maples around here. We fried some up with garlic and butter and made some of @foragerchef ‘s mushroom ketchup recipe (so good!). Lots of plans for the next flush!

Coming up June 21-25 we’re hosting a food workshop, focused on integrating wild and herbal elements into your food year round! Megan gets asked every school session when the cookbook is coming out, so here’s your chance to learn some of her tricks! Link in our bio, limited space for this hands on adventure.
