• 7:00 PM - Program FORAGING – IT IS IN YOUR DNA by David and Melodee Eishen – Texas Master Naturalists
When we go to the grocery store don’t we look for the freshest and most nutrient dense fruits and vegetables? Where did we get this skill? The freshest and most nutrient dense fruits and vegetables may be waiting for us just outside our door.
David and Melodee Eishen will begin our journey into the world of foraged food that is free, local, nutrient dense, and ecologically responsible. David and Melodee live on a small farm in the East Texas countryside where they raise cattle and ducks, and grow a wide variety of fruits and vegetables for their personal use. They can often be seen foraging for wild foods at home and from nearby roadways. Together they teach a variety of classes related to forgotten skills on food foraging, preparation and preserving.
Melodee was raised on a 300-acre farm where gardening and foraging, followed by canning and preserving was an everyday occurrence. Her education includes a Master’s Degree in Consumer Science (formerly known as Home Economics) and is a retired teacher. David, retired director of the Energy Efficient Green Building Institute, has learned how to “cook from scratch” including the preparation of nutrient dense whole foods.
Indian Trail Chapter is part of the statewide Texas Master Naturalist Volunteer Program of the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department and the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service.
The Mission …to develop a corps of well-informed volunteers to provide education, outreach,
and service dedicated to the beneficial management of natural resources and natural areas
