We are hosting community herbalist Mer Cosentino's herbalism classes and workshops at the farm this Friday and Saturday 7/15-7/16.
**Friday 7/15 6:30-8pm**
**Early Summer Herb Walk**
**Adult: $20 (group discount available); Child 9 and older: $10; Child 8 and younger: Free**
We will be greeting the wild medicine growing in the fields, forests, and wetlands of New Village Farm. We will gather together and learn how to identify, tend, and wildcraft these herbs to integrate them into our lives for our health, healing, and vitality. Our herb walks center storytelling, embodied experience, and the honorable harvest to respect and honor our greatest teachers - the plants themselves :)
Some guest stars on our exploration will include Saint Johns Wort, Yarrow, and Mugwort (and so many more.) Folks with a toe-dip or a whole-body immersion into herbalism are invited to join our time together! Be sure to dress for the weather (sunhats are very helpful on hot sunny days), bring water because hydration is important, and excitement to learn more about the wonders of our world!
