Fall is a time of great abundance in the world of wild plant foods and foraging. We will explore the nuts, fruits, taproots and tubers, mushrooms, seeds, greens, and more from this time of year and learn how to find and identify the plants that offer them. We will dig into processing methods with some of these foods and learn about preparation and storage for winter. We will have a full day of forays, education, and discussion, while gathering some of fall's abundance throughout the day for participants to take home. We will enjoy a delicious and largely wild lunch prepared by Tamsen Morgan.
Date: Sunday, October 4, 2026
Time: 9:00 AM - 4:30 PM
Lunch will be provided.
Ages: 8+ (ages 8-17 with a participating adult)

Sliding Scale Course Fee Guidelines
Supporter Level Ticket: $140
If you move through the world with financial ease and the means to fulfill many of your wants as well as your needs – you are able to eat out when you want, abundantly meet your needs through employment or can comfortably not work, have access to family wealth, own property, etc. – consider paying at this level, which will help us ensure the long term sustainability of our programs while keeping our offerings accessible to those with access to fewer resources.
Sustainer Level Ticket: $115
If you are able to meet your needs with relative ease while budgeting your educational and entertainment spending – for instance, you are able to take classes and eat out occasionally as long as you are mindful – consider paying at this level, which will help sustain the work of the Folk School at a modest level.
Supported Level Ticket: $90
If you struggle to fund your basic needs and have limited access to resources in your family and community, or if you would not be able to access this offering without a discounted payment option, consider paying at this level. We value your presence and contributions to our community and do not want any economic circumstances to be a barrier to attendance!
We recommend wearing long pants and close-toed shoes, and bringing a backpack with a notebook, water bottle, bags for gathering, a shovel, and any other learning aids desired.
