Let’s make some delicious, nutritious syrup with my fresh Spring Nettles! This Class will be held Saturday, April. 18th, at 2:00 pm at the Local Batch Kitchen. [right below our store!]

Absolutely one of THE most beneficial wild plants out there, Stinging Nettles are more friend than foe! My favorite way to easily enjoy their benefits is to use them to make a British-style, non-alcoholic Nettle Cordial, similar to an herbal syrup. It has an absolutely delicious & completely unique flavor -– bright & herbal with strong apricot-peach notes.

In this class, I’ll share my personal recipe for the cordial, with both fresh & dried nettle options, as well as some fun ways to enjoy it. We then will cook up a big batch of Cordial together & enjoy a refreshing Nettle Soda crafted with it. Each attendee will leave with a 2 oz bottle of Cordial, a copy of the recipe, a Stinging Nettle monograph, & the know-how. This will be a small group class & very hands on. We are expecting it to run about 1.5 hours long. CLASS SPACE IS LIMITED. This is a PRIVATE EVENT; advance ticket/s must be
purchased.

Here’s what others’ say about this rising Australian talent: “Warmth flecked with grit” – Rolling Stone. “The vocal swagger
of Van Morrison and dark spirituality and intelligence of Nick Cave” – the Weekend Australian. “Intoxicating New Orleans-tinged Americana… a bit of Waits, some Early James and C.W. Stoneking” says Post to Wire while the Grateful Web says he’s “Django Reinhardt with a cowboy twist.” We are all looking forward to hearing this new voice on our old stage this season!

Winner of Quebec’s prestigious OPUS Prize for Album of the Year – Traditional Québécois Music, Traverse is a musical journey into the heart of traditional fiddle music that resonates with nuance and vitality. “Gorgeous, refreshing” raves The Guardian, while Songlines calls the band’s music “mature, dignified and rewarding.” With champion fiddler Laura Risk, Nicholas Williams of Genticorum on accordion and flute, and Rachel Aucoin on piano, Traverse draws from deep immersion into traditional musical communities, from Montreal to the Gaspé via Scotland. Together, the trio plays with knife’s-edge precision and a rare intuitive connection that draws listeners into a riveting musical experience.
