We are so excited to announce the first session in our ACORNS! Culinary Series, happening this Sunday, April 6!
The ACORNS! Culinary Series will feature Acorn Flour produced from the Acorns we harvested during the First Annual Acorn Harvest, in Alameda, and donated by our friends in San Ramon, and collected by our Alameda neighbor, Jerry!
It has been a long journey from the harvest to the plate, and we are so grateful that you’ve followed us throughout our journey to collectively reopen Indigenous foodways, by producing (at scale) Acorn Flour for the first time in over 300 years!
Much of our techniques for harvesting, processing, and leaching acorns had to be created from scratch. Including our iconic Acorn Leaching Machine–which was responsible for leaching all of the acorn flour we’re using for the ACORNS! Culinary Series, and to offer to the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe of the San Francisco Bay Area!
In the ACORNS! Culinary Series, we will show you several different ways to incorporate acorns into dishes that highlight traditional and contemporary Native American Cuisine.
We will offer tastings, and recipes; and foster the discovery and discussion of what Indigenous foodways are, and how producing natural, nutritional, and culturally-relevant encourages health, and healing…
And inspire participants to imagine the benefits of Decolonizing Our Stomachs.
The ACORNS! Culinary Series is happening every Sunday in April.
