Forage Series Class: Fermented Fruits

Summer’s sweetness will be thick upon us. Wineberries, Black Raspberries, Elderberries, Serviceberries, and maybe we’ll even sneak a Blackberry or two from the garden! The season for fresh berries always feels terribly short so we’ll prepare some long-haul goodies like berry and herb infused vinegars, elderberry syrup and we’ll snack on some instant chia seed black raspberry jam.

Lacey Walker manages the education garden and builds community programs at Fox Haven Learning Center, but considers her true career to be that of a lifelong student. Her studies include herbalism, farm based education for adults and children, plant based cuisine, meditation, caring for and expanding the troop of ferment “children” she raises for gut health, the science of soil and composting, the mysterious life of companion plants, monthly wanderings to new corners of the country and the indispensable, incomparable joy of community potlucking.

Lacey engages with her passion for writing by authoring Fox Haven’s monthly contribution to The Environment is You in the Frederick News Post and can sometimes be seen toting her camera around, a throwback to her time in art school pursuing a BFA in Photography at Shepherd University. More often these days she likes to keep her hands free for playing in the dirt.
