What we’re about
Want to reconnect with Earth, eat healthy, get exercise, learn new skills, and meet great people? This is a group for folks interested in sharing knowledge on foraging and living from the land. All skill levels and ages are welcome. We hold a variety of classes for our members. The topics of these classes are chosen based on member interest and range from edible and medicinal plant walks to mushroom growing to cooking classes to tanning and primitive tool making. Fees for these classes will vary.
Due to the nature of our activities, some of our events are held in areas that are not accessible to those with limited mobility. This will be noted in the event description. We never want to exclude anyone from classes due to cost, so if you cannot afford the fee please contact the instructor to discuss barter or work study.

See all- Wild Mushroom ExtravaganzaWill Forage for Food, TIPTON, MI$60.00
Mushrooms are a mystery to many people. The Fungi are an entire branch on the tree of life. And yet, if you are like most people, you know almost nothing about them. This class is designed to change that! We will cover the basics of mushroom anatomy and physiology, discussing how these fascinating organisms live and reproduce. Then you will learn the essential features and basic vocaublary associated with mushroom ID. After we have talked about general mushroom ID, we will get specific, and you will learn to confidently identify several common, edible wild mushrooms that grow in our area. And a mushroom education isn't complete without a mushroom tasting. So you will learn this all while sipping wild mushroom drinks and grazing on a charcuterie spread filled with wild foods and mushrooms.
Cost: $60
