🍄‍🟫 New class offering: learn how to turn foraged mushrooms into homemade medicine!

🍄 So, you've been foraging mushrooms. Maybe you've cooked them up and added them to soups, stir-fry, or other meals. Perhaps you've even dried and powdered them for use in smoothies, coffee, or capsules.

🌿 Tincturing is another method we can use to prolong and preserve these incredible mycological medicines for years to come.

👨‍🍳 We are excited to welcome Sarah LeTourneau back to the Horn Farm to demonstrate just how easy it is to make homemade mushroom medicine. Leave with tinctures of your very own, and the knowledge to continue your herbalism journey at home.

🍄 So *mush* fun is in *spore*. We hope to see you here!

Curious about caring for honeybees at home? 🐝🍯

Keeping a beehive is an age-old craft that brims with sweet rewards. Backyard beekeepers enjoy honey, wax, and added pollinators for the garden.

Beginning in January, the Horn Farm’s 2027 Beekeeper Training Program offers a full year of hands-on experience working alongside local honey producer Mark Gingrich of Gingrich Apiaries. By tending live hives at the Horn Farm Center, students gain plenty of *flight* time managing bees throughout the seasons, concluding the year with the option to start a colony at home!

Now is the time to join our next swarm! Monthly evening classes take off starting Wednesday, January 20th, and spaces are limited.

Thank you volunteers!! 👋🌼

Last Saturday, community members who joined us for our Open Farm Volunteer Days helped plant another beautiful, functional garden around the Horn Farm's newly-restored farmhouse and learning center!

Located next to our handicap-accessible parking pad, this 💧 rain garden 💧 will absorb run-off and prevent erosion thanks to the deep roots and abundant leaf cover these plants will soon provide. The garden contains a mix of wildflowers and grasses, all locally-sourced and locally-adapted, making it a treat for pollinators, other beneficial insects, and botanizers as well.

We're blooming with gratitude for the folks who spent the morning with us transforming another landscape at the Horn Farm!

👋 Curious about upcoming volunteer opportunies? We'll soon be posting late fall and winter workdays at hornfarmcenter.org/volunteer/

🌸 Did you miss our Forager Training Program this spring?

🍂 Every season offers its unique gifts, and fall is no exception. Roots are ready for harvest, greens are flushed with life before the frost, and nuts are falling from their trees.

🌿 The Horn Farm Center invites you to explore field edges and fall foraging over the course of a weekend this fall! Join our farm manager and educator, Jon, for a weekend intensive filled with basic botany, observation & plant ID, foraging ethics and safety, and more.

🌾 Taste the flavors of the season. Meet plants in the field. Get acquainted with plant keys and how to use them. Go beyond wild foods and explore the medicines and materials available on the land during this time of year. Learn more at the link below! 👇🏼

If you join a foraging or ecology class at the Horn Farm, we might just 🤯 blow your mind! 🤯

Or maybe jewelweed will! Also known as touch-me-not, jewelweed is one of several local plants that uses “ballochory,” or explosive dispersal, to spread its seeds, turning whole habitats into botanical minefields. 🌿💥

Incredible signs of life like this abound during the fall. If you’re curious about what else the land may be up to this time of year, sign up for a class and explore our educational ecosystem!

Water is everywhere in gardening and farming, yet we often reduce it to a measurement on the rain gauge. 💧📏🌱

Thanks to Dark Hollow Biodynamic, our new Beginning Biodynamics Weekend will offer a rare opportunity to expand your perspective on water, and dive deep into its relationship with the land you care for.

Now is the time to register for November 14th and 15th at the Horn Farm Center: hornfarmcenter.org/biodynamics-weekend/

Special guest instructor Jennifer Greene of the Water Research Institute will join us from New England, bringing with her a lifetime of experience studying the life-supporting qualities of water. Her special session on Water Phenomenology will tune you in to water’s rhythms and forms, ushering in questions beyond “how much?” and “how little?”
