Recordings from 2016 and 2017
The 2017 Faire was truly inspiring. The teachers shared their wisdom, helping to pass the torch of herbal knowledge in a way that encouraged beginners and fed experienced herbalists. We cannot thank our teachers enough! A true blessing to us all is that we have most of the class recording available now! Please see the link above labeled "recordings". You now have access to this information as many times as you would like. While doing dishes, working in the garden, driving or lying on the couch and relaxing you will have access to the information conveyed at the faire that encourages health and healing for yourself, your family
and your community.

We will once again have an amazing weekend planned, including brilliant teachers, classes for all levels, fun evening activities, music and dance, a wonderful kids' program, creative vendors, and of course phenomenal food. The grounds are gorgeous and expansive, encompassing several diverse ecosystems and a plethora of wild herbs, with connections to local parks and trails. The Faire is a family-friendly event (with family pricing); we believe herbs and natural well-being are an important part of our everyday home lives as well as, for those who are inclined, a more in-depth discipline. Here we can, for a few days, step into a world of our own creation; immersing ourselves in study and community, and forging experiences and friendships that will sustain us long after the closing ceremony. Please join us!
