Farm to Medicine Cabinet Herb Walk

Back by popular demand, our Farm to Medicine Cabinet Plant Walk Series returns to the Farm this summer!  Our farm landscapes are capable of so much more than the first meets the eye: they produce nourishing foods, but also give us powerful plant-based medicines from weeds, cover crops, ornamental gardens, forests, and backyards. This “weed walk” will introduce you to medicinal plants commonly found on different parts of Vermont’s working lands, deepen your appreciation of the local food movement, and introduce you to nature-based, local medicine as part of a resilient food system. 

Phoebe Paron is a gardening herbalist witch, who has been alongside plants to harness their magic for the last five years. They were an Herbal Roots apprentice at the Vermont Center for Integrative Herbalism and are interning at Railyard Apothecary. This is Phoebe’s first season with the Spoonful Herbals team as a Community Herbalist educator and remedy maker and they are excited to create herbal remedies and teach in their community!
