Beyond BOW Workshops
at Barry
Conservation Camp in Milan, NH. This workshop is full and we are no longer accepting registrations.
This new Beyond BOW event promises be an educational, fun, relaxed weekend of exploring wild ways to cook - no experience necessary! The goal of this course is to learn proper techniques of wild game care and cooking, to identify edible wild plants, and to forage for and harvest wild vegetables and berries. The weekend will incorporate hands-on preparation of luscious wild delicacies and cooking methods for a variety of wild game. Participants will prepare their own Saturday evening dinner and Sunday morning brunch. Recipes and menu planning will be included. This is not a vegetarian weekend!
This event will be held at Barry Conservation Camp in Milan, NH (near Berlin). You will stay in rustic camp-like cabins, with 8 cots per cabin. Bathroom and shower facilities are a short walk from the cabins. Please check the equipment list for those things you should bring. This is a rain or shine event, so please plan accordingly.
The cost of the event is $60, which includes all meals, lodging, instruction, recipes, menu planning and cooking materials.
