"I believe caring for the earth begins with knowing it intimately. When we experience where our food comes from and learn to nourish ourselves from the landscape, we cultivate a lasting connection to place. Through hands-on learning, my goal is to inspire curiosity, reciprocity, and a deeper responsibility to care for the land that sustains us."
- Taylor Miller
Land-Based Learning & Wild Food Experiences
Experience the living world around you through hands-on learning rooted in curiosity, connection, and reciprocity. These customizable programs invite participants to explore edible and medicinal plants, wild foods, sustainable harvesting, and the ecosystems that sustain us.
Through guided nature walks, plant identification, ethical foraging, herbal workshops, and seasonal food experiences, participants gain practical skills while building a deeper relationship with the land. I believe food is one of the most powerful teachers. When we gather, prepare, and share what the landscape provides, knowledge becomes something we can taste, remember, and carry forward.
Culinary experiences can be incorporated into programs to bring learning to life through wild harvested teas, medicinal plants, seasonal ingredients, and unique frozen creations inspired by the flavors of the land.
Who is this for?
Designed for schools, colleges, community groups, and private gatherings, these experiences connect ecology, culture, sustainability, and nourishment in a meaningful and memorable way.
Our seasonal food pop-up was created as a fun and functional way to rebuild relationships between people, food, and place. Through a menu inspired by Minnesota’s local, organic, and native foods, we invite our community to experience the flavors of the landscape in a fun, creative, and meaningful way.
Using a commercial snow machine, we create customizable fluffy frozen treats inspired by the plants, fruits, and seasonal harvests of any region. Each creation is an opportunity to taste the land, learn about native food systems, and remember that nourishment comes through relationship.
This experience is rooted in reciprocity and the re-indigenization of our relationship with place. By reconnecting with the foods that grow around us, we begin to shift from seeing the land as something to consume toward understanding it as a living relative that sustains and teaches us. Through shared meals, storytelling, and joyful experiences, we create opportunities to restore connection with the land and with each other.
