Intimately experience a biodiverse farm
We'll start by foraging through the farm to make a diverse "goat salad." We'll walk through the garden, stop to admire the beehives, and then feed and pet our mini horses, adorable Babydoll sheep, and silly goats. Once our animals have had their salads, The Farmhouse Kitchen at The Nest Box (MEHKO permit #PT0501239) will treat you to a light seasonal farm picnic. Following your fresh farm treats, we'll step in with the chickens and ducks. We'll feed them organic hen scratch and farm greens, if available. We'll watch them happily scratch around and quack and coo, and you can hold and pet them if you’d like too. While they’re scratching around, we’ll step into the coops to check for eggs, then we'll visit with our rambunctious pigs and Harper, our sweet Jersey cow. We'll finish our experience with a calm and relaxing visit with our bunnies and guinea pigs. We'll feed and pet these sweet and soft fur balls.
All along the experience, you will learn fun facts about our diverse plant and animal family, and you’ll leave with a seasonal farm gift.
Other things to note:
Wear comfortable closed-toed walking shoes and clothes you don't mind possibly getting a bit dirty. Boots and long pants are ideal.
*Great for teams and team-building too!
Learn to Forage Edible Plants & Mushrooms
Find out what you can eat in the woods! We'll hike in the lovely Santa Cruz mountains where I'll guide you on a beautiful 1-2 mile walk in the unique coastal oak & redwood forest. Together we'll learn the ancient ways of identifying edible and medicinal mushrooms, plants, roots, flowers, nuts and seeds (depending on the season.
This class is primarily learning HOW to forage and identify and is less oriented towards collection. If you're looking to collect and prepare your own dinner with pounds of mushrooms we find, this is not the experience you're seeking! (FYI Mushrooms come out after the rains in early Dec. and fruit through winter, sometimes into spring). Along the way we'll discuss proper harvesting & preparation.
This experience is a fun, hands-on way to connect to what can feed, heal and harm us in the wild. You'll walk away with a new appreciation and understanding of our ecosytem! The hike is doable for all skill levels. See you on the trail!
PLEASE BRING: LAYERS (it can get chilly in the redwoods and we hike RAIN OR SHINE), water bottle and comfortable hiking shoes. Optional: hiking poles, camera, hat, sunglasses.

We will then participate in a mindfulness activity such as meditation or yoga.
