We gather the foraged family together on Facebook the last Tuesday of every month at 7PM Eastern Standard Time with Abby’s book, The Herbal Handbook for Homesteaders. You don’t even need the book to join in, though!
Abby will answer as many questions as we have time for, plus give you some bonus info from her experience as a botanist, forager, wildcrafter, herbalist, and educator empowering people on their wild paths.
Grab your cup of herbal tea, invite your #herbal #DIY #booknerd friends and join in on the fun.

Log in to Facebook at 7 PM (EST) and go to The WANDER School’s Facebook page – it’s that easy!! You don’t even need the book to join in…

Erica was a HUGE supporter of my farm and was a major part in my expansion. Without the support and help from her, I am not sure I could have done this!
The purpose of the Mentor Services program is to support beginning and intermediate farmers by partnering them with experienced regional farmers who can provide them with one-on-one practical planning skills in the areas of:
- farm design and production
- marketing and business development
- systems management
- connecting them to the regional farming community
By serving as Mentors, regional farmers will be able to pass on the skills and knowledge that they possess to other farmers and help to build collaboration and community among the farming community.
Who is eligible to apply
We are looking for farmers who have been farming at least 1 year and/or have worked as a farm manager.
Preference is given to graduates of Farm Beginnings® (or other relevant farmer training programs) and members of CRAFT.
Each applicant will be evaluated on an individual basis. Farming partners who apply jointly will receive one mentor.
We are also offering a limited number of mentorships focused on forest farming, in partnership with Appalachian Beginning Forest Farmer Coalition. These will be offered as free or reduced fee mentorships. If you are interested, you can indicate that on your application.
Studio 52 is seeking a diverse group of young singers between the ages of 8-18 to be featured in an upcoming virtual performance! Virtual rehearsals will take place on Zoom on Wednesdays, April 14, 21, and 28 from 7:15 – 8:15 PM EST. To join the choir, please fill out the form linked below by Friday, April 9.
Singers must attend all rehearsals and memorize 2-3 musical theatre songs. Following rehearsals, choir members will be asked to submit a video of their songs. Singers will need access to reliable internet, headphones, and a device to film (smart phones work best.) These videos will be edited together and presented in a virtual cabaret in early June celebrating young artists and benefitting Flat Rock Playhouse.
The choir will be directed by Director of Education Anna Kimmell and Music Directed by Artistic Associate Matthew Glover. No auditions are necessary. Former, current, and future Studio 52 participants or any young person who loves singing are welcome to participate! A Studio 52 staff member will then be in touch with more information, music, listening tracks, and Zoom links.
