Locavore Farm is so excited to offer this Mushroom Workshop. If you have ever wondered how to identify, forage, cultivate and cook your own mushrooms, then this class is for you! Taught by a Permaculture graduate, and fungi enthusiast, participants will leave this workshop with a deeper appreciation and understanding of fungi’s role in ecology, medicine, and culinary arts. Not only will participants bring home educational resources, but also a starter kit for growing your own delicious edible mushrooms at home! We will even cook and enjoy a delicious mushroom highlighted meal together with a chef. So, enroll now! Workshops will fill up quickly and there is limited space! 

Two summer sessions are offered, featuring five consecutive days for kids 6yrs to 10 yrs. (Session One) and youth 11 yrs. to 16 yrs. (Session Two).  Our camps introduce youth to the rhythms of farm life and country living. Campers will participate in the preparation of Locavore Farm's signature farm dinner event, exclusively created for parents and siblings. Campers will work with chefs, farmers, along with science and art teachers as they explore nature and the relationship between farm and table.

Curricula and activities will help participants identify and understand soil biomes and its impact on plant physiology and nutrition in food. The goal is to create greater awareness and demand for consumption of locally grown food by connecting the health of the soil to the nutrition of the plant and subsequent impact on nourishment and flavor, as well as create more participation in the at-home preparation and consumption of fruits and vegetables.

The workshops literally pop-up as they are based on an opportunity to use a farm-happening for education. The birth of livestock, arrival of chicks, new plantings, a large harvest, or a discovery will result in us creating an educational opportunity at the farm.
