Over 155 men from Starke County enlisted for the Civil War.
After the war was over in 1865, a wave of settlers, several of them Civil War veterans, moved into Starke County.

As a result, there many Civil War Veterans living in out county following the war. Many settled here, raised families and died in Starke County.

At the upcoming cemetery walk next Saturday (Oct 3), reenactors will portray three Civil War veterans buried at Oak Park Cemetery.

Remember.... tours begin at 2:00 and at 3:00.

🍂 OCTOBER IS FOR FORAGING! 🌿

✨️The temperatures are dropping, the woods are changing, and the landscape is giving us one more incredible harvest before winter settles in.

🍁October is a great month to look for wild nuts, fruits, berries, mushrooms, greens, herbs, and late-season flowers.

🌰 Nuts & Seeds: Acorns, black walnuts, hickory nuts

🍄 Mushrooms: Oyster mushrooms, hen of the woods, chicken of the woods, and—where conditions allow—morels

🌿 Wild Edibles: Dandelion, dock, plantain, and purslane

🌼 Herbs & Medicinal Plants: Goldenrod, yarrow, mugwort, and lemon balm

🫐 Berries & Fruits: Beautyberry, wild grapes, rose hips, and persimmons

🌸 Late-Season Blooms: Calendula, cosmos, dahlias, and nasturtiums

🧡October is also a great time to slow down and pay attention. The plants are changing, seeds are maturing, nuts are falling, and the forest floor is becoming a completely different landscape.

🤔And remember... foraging isn't just about what we take. It's about what we learn. 🌎

✨️Know your plants. Know your land. Harvest responsibly. Leave plenty behind for wildlife and future growth. And if you can't positively identify it, leave it where it grows.

🍂 Same land. Different season. Still abundant.

Good food grows in wild places.

🌿 Adventurous Foragers
Forage. Learn. Nourish.
