Keynote Address<\/strong>
Author, forager and wildcrafter Pascal Baudar <\/strong>led us on an exploration of the edible landscape including foraging, fermenting and making natural wine and ciders with wild fruits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drawing on his bestselling books like The New Wildcrafted Cuisine<\/em>, The Wildcrafting Brewer<\/em>, and Wildcrafted Fermentation<\/em>, as well as his deep engagement with local terroir, Baudar showcased how sometimes under-appreciated native, non-native and invasive fruits can be preserved, fermented, brewed, and crafted into vinegars, sodas, condiments, and other libations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Annual Meeting & Member Show and Tell<\/strong>
The conference included the 2025 NAFEX Annual Meeting and Member Show and Tell on Friday, Nov. 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
