Hillcrofters’ spring meeting didn't disappoint

The Society of Ozarkian Hillcrofters had their Spring 2025 meeting at the Bonniebrook Museum located just a few miles north of Branson at Walnut Shade on Tuesday, April 29, 2025, at 6:30 p.m.

The meeting featured a presentation by Heather Snow who gave a very informative talk about foraging in the Ozarks. Heather Snow is a passionate hobby forager with a deep love for nature and nutrition. With a BS in Dietetics and a BS in Public Health Nutrition, Heather has spent years studying how food and wellness go hand-in-hand.

Heather loves to dive into all things gardening, camping and cooking up interesting and unique meals. Whether it’s experimenting with new ingredients from the international grocery store or foraged plants from her neighborhood, Heather’s approach to food is all about connection and creativity. Heather provided a lot of great information about edible plants that are found throughout the Ozarks.

The members of the Bonniebrook Historical Society were wonderful hosts, and provided not only a fantastic meeting space at the home of famous artist and illustrator, Rose O’Neill, but also provided refreshments for the Hillcrofters and guests.
