Beckett Rucker will lead an Eat Your Medicine workshop from 1 to 4 p.m. March 21 at The Boston School of Herbal Studies, in Lincoln, Massachusetts, guiding participants in creative, practical ways to take charge of their wellness through food. Using all five senses, attendees will learn to safely infuse medicinal herbs into everyday meals and beverages to nourish body systems and support immunity.

Through hands-on instruction, demonstrations and samples, participants will prepare a vitamin-rich herb pesto, an herbal mocktail, an immunity broth, an herbal dessert and a medicinal infused vinegar to take home. Each attendee will receive a culinary herbalism handout and guidelines covering Rucker’s top 40 tonic herbs.

Rucker has completed advanced plant-based and herbal studies, apprenticed with the Boston School of Herbal Studies, worked as a sous chef at Wright-Locke Farm and holds a permaculture design certification. Rucker currently serves as farm manager and permaculturist at Soluna Garden Farms, in Winchester.
