In this episode we met up  at Edgewood Nursery with Lisa Willey to conduct an in person podcast on foraging and eating acorns.  Lisa is an environmental scientist, educator and makes incredible foods using foraged ingredients.  We’ll go over everything you need to know to harvest, collect, process and cook with acorns.  Lisa discusses her technique for making (vegan) acorn cheeses, as well as (sourdough) breads, crackers, pancakes, muffins, etc.  We also talk a bit about the history of humans eating acorns, some random foraging anecdotes, and an all around wholesome & informative talk on one of North America’s most plentiful and ignored food sources.
