Acorns as Food

Humans and oak trees have had an intimate relationship for thousands of years, literally shaping each other’s development. Oaks are the keystone of our ecosystem and provide us with oxygen, wood, heat, charcoal, hunting grounds, tannins, and best of all… FOOD!

In this hands-on workshop, permaculturist Howard Zuefle connects us with the ways of our ancestors and the sacred oak. We'll learn how to gather acorns, then process them and prepare bread or muffins.

Instructor: Howard Zuefle, nursery manager of Growing Value Nursery (Cincinnati Permaculture Institute’s edible plant nursery at the Enright EcoVillage)
