Yesterday in the South Armagh sunshine, we launche

Discount -Brand New Ring of Gullion Experience !

We held our first 'Spring Greens, Forage , Ferment

We held our first 'Spring Greens, Forage , Ferment and Feast' event yesterday and what a way to kickstart the wild food season!
💚💚☘️
This full day immersion experience paid homage to an ancient Irish custom of 'Creamhfeis/ Crimfeis' - for centuries, at this very time of year, Tribal Irish Chieftains demanded that they be honoured with a feast offering of wild garlic and cheese / milk. Failure to provide was on penalty of a fine.
🫣
A bit like getting our taxes in order and still over one thousand years later some things never change - I doubt the tax man would accept a dish of my fermented wild garlic cheese , delicious and all as it is 😉
🌱🌱🌱

We spent the day foraging, fermenting and feasting ....everything from Homegrown Irish Garlic butters and cheeses to more international flavours of Sauerkraut and Kimchi.
Here in the Ring of Gullion, South Armagh, we have a rich cultural legacy of plant based cures, wild medicine and food heritage as diverse as any part of the world.
We are committed to reviving and preserving that knowledge.
❤️💚🌱☘️
Yesterday we made new friends and got reacquainted with more regular visitors, thank you for supporting us.

As part of the @ringofgullion autumn fest, we ran

As part of the @ringofgullion autumn fest, we ran our final foraging event of 2023 last Sunday. We foraged for fungi, roots and berries and also had a look at some cultivated mushrooms and the processes involved.
🍄🫚🍒
Thanks to everyone who came along and spent the day with us making our sold out event such a success.

❤️💚
The day started with a lovely heart warming medicinal mushroom and root latte.
☕
During the day, we looked at many wild species...edible, medicinal and poisonous but all beautiful. Birch polypore, scaly wood mushroom, wood blewit, Turkey tails, Auricularia, amethyst deceiver to name a few.

We also looked at many different roots and how to process them ... tasting some of their lovely wild flavours along the way - raw and baked
Savoury Hawthorn berry sauce, leathers and other wild berries, seeds and nuts were tasted in one way or another.
We still have a few bottles of elderberry 🍾🥂😉

The group were shown how to properly ID wild fungi using a key and other resources.

Then after our walk it was back to the barn to taste my wild mushroom soup and cook up some of what I had foraged over the previous couple of days including beautiful wood blewits, agaricus sp. as well as sumptuous cultivated oyster mushrooms.

These 'Pleurotus ostreatus' grow wild in the Ring of Gullion but on this occasion we had the next best thing ...supplied by @ardmhachashiitake .
Jemmy Mc Cann who produces these delightful tasting mushrooms is just a few miles over the road from me and has an absolute passion for what he does.

Come foraging for the day as part of @ringofgullio

Come foraging for the day as part of @ringofgullion Autumn Fest 2023. The story of wild food and medicine is as much part of our heritage as is song, poetry, storytelling.

🍄🌿🫐

As autumn moves to winter we find less and less to forage or so it seems to the untrained eye.

🍁🍂🍃🍁

Join me on a wild food exploration day and together we will begin to peel back the layers to the mysterious kingdom of fungi, roots and berries.
