Wild Food & Edible Plants – a Two Day Course with Aleksandar Jerkovic

DSC_4091Aleksandar Jerkovic never brings a lunch box when he goes outdoors. Instead, he eats what he finds in nature. He and his daughter Ana, 5 years old, survived in nature for a whole month completely living off the land. Actually, they didn’t just survive – they were very comfortable and never went hungry! Rather the opposite, they enjoyed tasty, balanced & healthy meals. This is what Aleksandar wants to share with you. Wild food is not just a means of survival – it can taste great too! Aleksandar is behind the popular instagram channel ‘Ätliga Vilda Växter‘ which means edible wild plants.

The focus of the event will be on identifying different wild foods, foraging & cooking with them.

We will use canoes to get to different areas (islands) and explore different plants and wild food opportunities. We will spend the night in tents (provided + all camping gear) and apart from foraging, cooking, canoeing etc we will enjoy the nature around us & campfire hanging under the stars in the evening.
