Emily and Henry take us on a journey of wild edible and medicinal plants
Spring Term in Plants, Permaculture & Homesteading
The Spring season is when we immerse ourselves in the world of plants, permaculture and homesteading. It's where we start our gardens, tend to young livestock, begin bee boxes and prepare many medicinal tinctures. We also intensively study the life and habits of birds, delving deeply into a very poignant and ancient aspect of tracking.
Wild Edible and Medicinal Plants
Learn to get your body fit and healthy with the greater dietary and medicinal benefits of wild edible and medicinal plants. We address sustainable gathering practices along with the anatomy of balanced nutrition and healing. Proper identification and a deep relationship to individual plants become vital to understand them as both food and medicine.
Permaculture and Homesteading
Receive your Permaculture Design Certification. Our coursework is about understanding permaculture's intensive principles for real world hands-on applications. It's about actually feeding your family and village for many generations to come. It ties directly into our culture of homesteading and sustenance gardening. Harvest and preservation of spring milk and eggs folds into artisan cheese making, pickling and fermentation.
Bird Language
Bird language is a specialized yet essential part of nature observation and tracking. Your sensitivity to the land around you grows as you tune your movements in the forest to the calls and songs of birds. A sparrow alarms to tell you the fox is trotting by. A jay watches in the trees as the bear passes through. We work with many of the best birders, naturalists and trackers in the field to develop deeper relationships with some of the most incredible denizens of our forests.
