Barefoot Medicine Farm
Upcoming Plant Walks
Join me at the Barefoot Medicine Farm™ for Spring/ Summer plant and foraging walks!
​
​​
Together we'll explore the 10 acre Barefoot Medicine Farm™ which is listed as a botanical sanctuary through United Plant Savers. We have old growth conservation forest, wetlands, and meadows which are home to a diverse amount of plants, many of which are native at-risk or endangered medicinals.
​
You'll learn how to ID plants, which are food, which are medicine (some are both!), and how to prepare them. You will also have the chance to taste some of the foraged teas straight off the farm!
​
Each class will focus on a particular theme, so mark your calendars and get ready for some foraging fun!
