SUMMARY:Late Fall Herbal Foraging\, Wildcrafting\, and Medicine Making Intensive at McCormick Farm (Portage\, PA)
DESCRIPTION:Join the Pennsylvania School of Herbalism for a late fall wild medicine foraging and medicine-making intensive.  In this intensive\, we will explore the medicines of late falls: fruits\, roots\, barks\, and seeds\, including hawthorn\, rose hip\, sassafras\, goldenrod\, turkey tail mushrooms\, and whatever else is in season. The first part of our intensive will include exploring and harvesting medicines in a variety of ecosystems: field\, edge spaces\, and forests.  On our foraging walk\, we will focus on plant\, tree\, and mushroom identification\, foraging safety and harvest ethics\, and consider the role of stewardship in foraging practice.  In the second part of our intensive\, we will process and make medicine from our harvests\, which–depending on what we find– will include tinctures\, infused vinegars\, and teas. This will be a hands-on experience. \nPreparation: Good footwear is essential for this class; please wear a closed-toe hiking shoe with good tread\, long pants\, and layers for a variety of weather conditions. Foraging often includes rough terrain and off-trail walking\, and McCormick Farm has a hilly landscape where we will be off-trail. Bring bug spray and tick repellent.  Participants will find it helpful to bring a notebook to document and take notes.  An open-weave basket\, gloves\, a knife\, and a pair of pruners are also recommended. \nCost: Sliding scale $40-$80.  Sliding scale means that you pay what you can afford to pay\, so please pay what you can afford. \nLocation: McCormick Farm\, 293 McCormick Rd\, Portage\, PA 15946\n \nCredits: This program also qualifies for 3 hours of stewardship and identification credits and 1 hour of medicine making with the Pennsylvania School of Herbalism (applicable toward the 50-hour and 100-hour certificate programs). \n  \nAbout McCormick Family Farms: A fifth-generation family farm near Portage\, PA\, offering 100% grass-fed and finished beef\, pasture-raised chicken and pork\, maple syrup\, honey\, herbal products and more.
