Remembering our ancestors feast, for those who fou

Remembering our ancestors feast, for those who fought for freedom✊

A making of a small plate that is left out in the woods or burned in the fire-pit signifies that we remember them, it nourishes the spirits who stand behind us. A simple ceremony that has been used by indigenous cultures can have the ability to strengthen our existence.

Offerings of skewered venison backstrap, juniper, rosemary.
Lobster mushroom, shaggy parasol gravy.
Cob oven roasted Delicata squash, sage.
Driftwood hot-rock stir-fry turnip noodles, brussel sprouts, garden greens.
Smashed garden potatoes, house buttermilk, parsley.
Wild gathered dandelion greens, cleaver, yarrow, spruce tips in vinegar.
Ancient grain sourdough, house made butter.
Tea of grand fir, lemon balm, mullein.
