Twigs and Digs: Late Fall Foraging Walk will take place on Sunday, Dec. 8, from 10 a.m. to noon. The program will include wild foods, local plants and ecology, alternative uses for plants through wildcrafting and medicine, and ethical foraging. Beginners and experienced foragers are welcome.

Identifying Trees by Bark will be presented on Dec. 8 from 1 to 3:30 p.m. This program will begin with an overview of the science of tree bark, followed by a hike through the Horn Farm's woodlands to explore field identification of various tree species via bark. Other wintertime identification features, like twig arrangement, buds, and leaf scars, will also be addressed as example trees allow. Attendees should be prepared for a fully outdoor class, including walking.

Horn Farm will offer Holiday Gourmet: DIY Gifts From the Kitchen on Saturday, Dec. 14, from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Attendees will learn how to create edible gifts that can be prepared in advance or on short notice. They will create their own infused oils, flavored salts, and fermented fruit relish. All products created during class will be gluten-free and vegan.
