Hello,
I am very excited to let you know about Wineberry Walnut Acres.  This is a peaceful 3.4 acres in the Oley Valley where we try and educate people on a way to stay healthy and connected to nature.  One thing we do is forage which is just another way of saying eating what God put in front of you or as my sister Carla and I used to say when we were growing up - living off the land.  Since spring has sprung I have been harvesting greens nearly every day.  I just had a lunch of chickweed and walnuts - both of which came from our property. This summer we will be starting kids camps to help children get comfortable in nature, learn how to identify plants, see how much fun they can have outside, do arts and crafts using items from nature and even learn how to find a salad from their surroundings.  Thanks for spending time with me.
I will end this first post with something I used to tell my students when I was a science teacher, "Your homework for today:  Go outside!"

    1. Every season brings different options to the salad. Come and visit sometime. In June I will host a foraging event.
