Led by Dr. Crystal Jewell\, a Neuroscientist and Science Communicator\, this class will teach you how to identify\, harvest\, and use a variety of wild plants safely and sustainably. We’ll cover key identification techniques\, ethical harvesting practices\, and traditional uses of native and naturalized species found on the farm. Be prepared for a leisurely walk on uneven terrain. Bring a notebook\, a field guide (if you have one)\, and a sense of curiosity! Must be 18+ to attend.  \nAttendees will be allowed to forage invasive species. Please follow the instructions given by the instructor about what we are allowed to pick.  \nCLASS LOCATION: Due to limited parking at Onion Creek Farm\, we will meet at Lockwood Cafe (4625 Reliable St #3713\, Ames\, IA 50014) and carpool together from there. If you are willing to be a driver\, please reach out and let Sheba know at events@wheatsfield.coop or call 515-232-4094. It is 1.5 miles between the parking lot and the farm. Please try to arrive a little early so we have as much time as possible on the farm.  \nPLEASE NOTE: Waiver Required at Registration – A liability waiver is included in the Eventbrite checkout process. Before completing your registration\, you’ll be asked to read and check a box agreeing to our terms. Please take a moment to read it carefully — you won’t be able to finish signing up without completing this step!  \nMeet the Instructor!  \nCrystal Jewell\, M.S.\, PhD is a neuroscientist\, science communicator\, and naturalist who specializes in alternative and complimentary medicine with a focus on ethnopharmacology.  URL:https://www.wheatsfield.coop/event/hands-on-class-wild-foraging-onion-creek-farm/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.wheatsfield.coop/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Wild-Foraging-Banner-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
