Foraging for Freedom with Robin Greenfield
For one year Robin Greenfield foraged every bite of his food and medicine. A year without grocery stores, restaurants, pharmacies or even a garden with “Nature” as his garden!
Is it possible to eat in harmony with Earth and live in reciprocity? Robin wholeheartedly believes so and is putting this love and devotion for Earth into bold action as he harvests the food and medicine that is growing freely and abundantly all around us.
He is traveling to our community to share his foraging journey and celebrate the individuals and organizations in our community working for a more resilient, local food system. He will also share about the 1 Million Community Fruit Trees Initiative and invite us to get involved in this grassroots collaborative effort in food sovereignty.
Join us for an eye opening exploration of food sovereignty through the food and medicine that is growing abundantly all around us. Come out to build your knowledge, your skills and your community!

Foraging School
Robin Greenfield and April Hepokoski are hosting a one-day Foraging School on Saturday, August 2 at Little Barnyard.
Food and medicine are growing freely and abundantly all around us and this is your opportunity to learn how to identify, harvest and enjoy this abundance!
10 a.m. to 6 p.m. with a one-hour lunch break from 1-2 pm.
Sliding scale donation: $50-$150
Foraging School is offered on a donation basis and nobody will be turned away for lack of funds.
If families with children are interested in attending, we are happy to make this a kid-friendly event. The children are welcome to use our nature playscape and hiking trails/play spaces in the forest!
Together we will learn foraging, enjoy foraged foods and connect to Earth and community. Robin and April would absolutely LOVE to connect with you at Foraging School, sharing our deep experience and relationship with our plant relatives!
