Fall Foraging and Nut Crops, with Nicholas WazeeGale

This day long foraging course will begin with some exploration, learning and sampling various fall edibles, from roots and greens to late fruits and nuts. After a wild lunch, we will delve into processing of our various local nut crops. Much of this will be focused on processing acorns but we will also cover (and eat!) black walnuts, Shagbark Hickories, Bitternut Hickories and others. If you've wanted to start making more use of the abundance of Autumn in Southwestern Wisconsin this is your chance! Some traversing of irregular ground will be necessary in this course.

Time: 9am-4:30pm
Ages: 18+ years (ages 12-17 may attend with an adult participant)
Location: La Farge, WI area
An all-wild lunch is included!

Sliding Scale Course Fee Guidelines

Supporter Level Ticket: $130
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: $105
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: $80
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!
