 Herbal Classes

We are so delighted to offer opportunities to gather, build herbal community and learn from each other this season on the farm. Connection is our key here. As herbalists, we believe that our ability to connect with the growing plants has been an essential part of our herbal learning and helps us deepen our understanding in our practices. We want to share that with you! Classes take place in northeast Kansas.

Our classes are beginner friendly and open to anyone with a curiosity for getting started working with the plants. We’ll cover basic techniques in folk herbalism for home use, and help you get hands on experience to use in your daily life. You will be lead in the field by two herbalists, so we can answer any questions that might come up, while also demonstrating correct preparation and techniques.

We offer classes May - October. Sign up below to be notified when our 2026 season schedule drops! Hone your plant tending skills, increase your herbalism knowledge, improve your plant identification, and attune your plant intuition!

The Herbalists supporting the Classes

Laurel

“I love learning, and am always involved in a new course or have my nose in a different herbal book. I believe the plants are always teaching us, and I’ve learned an exceptional amount of wisdom through the arts of foraging and wildcrafting - identifying and sustainably harvesting plants in their native habitat.”

Jess

She got into herbalism through farming over a decade ago. It’s been a slow and steady learning process of growing the plants, going deeper with courses and years of practice. Her biggest joy has been in helping facilitate other folk’s connection with the plants by sharing our gardens and spaces.

She started Sacred Sun’s herbal line as a way for busy folks to get high quality and locally grown products to support their wellness. You can find her at SacredSunFarm.co
