Autumn Bitter Root Remedies

Our farm landscapes are not only capable of producing nourishing foods, but also powerful plant-based medicines. Join Katherine Elmer and Kara Buchanan, Co-founders of Spoonful Herbals, on a weed walk to focus on the identification and benefits of bitter herbs and roots commonly found on the Vermont farm landscape and invites participants to engage in nature-based local medicine as part of a resilient food system. Participants will help gather and process some of the bitter roots into classic tonic recipes traditionally featured in the fall.
