Are you an Oak Lover, a “Querciphile”? Have you ever eaten ‘Acorn’ (and enjoyed it)? Did you know that acorns were a staple food for thousands of years all over the northern hemisphere where Oak trees grow, and likely your ancestors ate them?

- A brief Natural History of Oak Trees
- A brief culinary history of Acorn
- How to properly gather and process Acorns for cooking

Everyone will take home a jar of acorns and recipes to continue your acorn cooking adventure. Wear layers and sturdy shoes and bring water.
Please drive slowly down Azalea Land to respect our neighbors. Thank you.
