Harvest Season at the Food Forest
About this Event
Welcome to Harvest Season at the Food Forest!
In honour of the coming autumn season, we will gather, tend the land, make mullein tinctures, and sample foraged food. By removing invasive species together, educating ourselves on native plants, and connecting with nature, we will develop a stronger relationship with the natural world around us and how it changes throughout the seasonal cycles.
We will be providing tincture bottles (dark glass, with a dropper) but if you would like to bring your own to reuse, that is encouraged!
While this event is free, we ask that you to uspport the festival if you can comfortably afford it (or more, if you like!).
Check out the full Festival Program and mark your calendar for an unforgettable autumn experience.
