Held every Spring since it’s inception in 1968\, this event provides education and experience finding\, processing\, and feasting on edible wild plants and other foragables in a beautiful park like setting in the hills of North Carolina.

After an introduction to some of the plants to be collected\, participants will join small groups led by experienced foragers to collect wild foods. Each year the North Carolina Wild Foods Weekend hosts a featured speaker. The climax of the weekend will be a wild feast composed of collected foods prepared by the participants. The Sunday program will feature uses of wild plants & a variety of outdoor activities.  \n\nSome of the foods served one year at the Saturday Wild Food Feast.
