FORAGE & FEAST
An informative foraging expedition and wild - edible feast in our barn.
Join Rachel Alexandrou, a seasoned forager and wild food cook, for a stroll through our fields and woods, to learn the art of safely identifying and preparing wild edible plants. In June, there is a bounty of edible flowers and greens waiting to be discovered. The walk will last 1.5 hours and conclude with Q&A, and Rachel will bring a selection of her favorite foraging books. Bring a notebook, writing utensil, sturdy shoes, a water bottle, and bug spray. Whether you're a novice forager or a plant enthusiast eager to enhance your culinary skills, all are welcome. As a delightful conclusion, Rachel will treat you to a wild foraged soda. The adventure continues with foraged cocktails before settling down for a thoughtful multi-course foraging based menu at Tallulah’s, via chef Brandon Montes.
Rachel Alexandrou, an artist and forager, combines her background in plant science with a collaborative approach to craft immersive experiences centered around food, flora, and reshaping our connection to the natural world. With a B.S. in Environmental Horticulture and a 400-hour certificate in community herbalism from the Northeast School of Botanical Medicine, Rachel brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to each adventure.
Brandon Montes is shining a spotlight on the bounty of our gardens, surrounding organic farms throughout the year. Along with a strong focus on indigenous ingredients, sustainable wild foods, and invasive species coming from both the oceans and deep woods of Maine. The cuisine will be a clear representation of our land and surrounding regions. Fermentation, preservation, investigation, and longevity through community are what deeply roots the food systems he will create for seasons to come.
This collaboration is one that will speak on our shared love of maine’s wild edible that surrounds us, and in our short season, is ever fleeting. Come experience the magic of capturing and exploring the flavors of our woods.
