Technical Advising / Research
Dr. Kallas can advise on and/or investigate the edible properties of
any plant and its relatives for academic, culinary, theatrical,
agricultural, or food product development. Dr. Kallas' library is one
of the largest in the world regarding uses of wild plants for food
and other purposes in North America. Screen writers will find our
expertise on wild foods valuable to reasonably portray Native
American, pioneer, and prehistoric foodways.
Training / Curriculum Development
We work with outdoor organizations, schools, businesses, and
individuals to develop and implement high quality training on wild
food topics. Wild foods can be easily integrated into science,
adventure, and experiential curricula to feed mind, body, and soul.
Apprenticeships, advanced training, study groups, and focused
retreats are on-going. Training can yield information on simple and
sustainable living, wilderness survival, Native American uses, plant
identification, and the nutrient contribution of wild foods. Specific
workshops can deal with regional edibles; cooking and processing
techniques; wild gourmet garden vegetables; neighborhood edibles;
wild foods of the wilderness; medicinal plants; poisonous plants; and
more. Expeditions and overnight trips to parks, wilderness areas, and
hot spring resorts can be arranged.
Speaking / Presentations
Dr. Kallas gives entertaining slide presentations to businesses,
organizations, and schools. He speaks to professional groups in areas
related to wild foods like outdoor education, botany, nutrition, food
preparation, cooperative extension, and health care. John presents at
conferences, company retreats, training camps, and schools. Event
displays are available to show prepared samples of wild foods and
photographs of edible plants, wild food social events, and prepared
foods.
Publications: Magazines, Newspapers, Technical Papers, A
Newsletter
