Pacific Harvest Author Talk | Deming Library (Deming, WA)

Foraging for wild food is a passport to a place for Northwest naturalist and author Jennifer Hahn. She will share stories and images of her 40 years foraging afoot and afloat from Alaska to California from her new book, Pacific Harvest: A Northwest Coast Foraging Guide at the Deming Library!

Are you curious about foraging? Or are you a seasoned forager who wants to learn a little bit more about Nature's abundance in our region? We're pleased to welcome Jennifer Hahn to the library to present her brand-new book about foraging, Pacific Harvest: Foraging as a Healing Passport to Place, Plants, Animals and Nature.

Foraging for wild food, eating between tide and forest, makes life a delicious journey. It is a passport to place for northwest naturalist and author Jennifer Hahn, teacher of a popular science course called "Wild Food" at Western Washington University's Fairhaven College. Enjoy a lively slideshow talk on the cultural, culinary and ecological uses of sea veggies, land plants and marine shellfish, and mushrooms. Jennifer will share stories of her 40 years foraging afoot and afloat from Alaska to California, animals who shelter and eat the foods we also love, sustainable foraging tips, nutrition, recipe ideas, and profiles from Indigenous traditional food experts working to revitalize Traditional Foodways in the Salish Sea and beyond. Enjoy popcorn "SEA-soned" with local farmed kelp (Lummi Island SeaGreens) and gain a new appreciation of the nature that surrounds and nourishes you.
