Join us for a special edition of hands-on herbalism. Before tinctures (modern extractions using distilled alcohol) our ancestors drank their medicinal herbs by making herbal wines, beers and mead. In this class we will learn about our delicious local flowers and make elderflower wine. Herbal wines contain very low alcohol, while extracting and preserving flavors and medical constituents of plants. These are wonderful ways to work with medicinal nourishing herbs and to bring them into your everyday life. This is a hands-on introductory herbal workshop where we will learn plant identification, sustainable harvesting practices and make remedies designed to build long term health.

No previous experience is necessary.
