WISDOM is hosting a farm tour at Chatsworth Farm near Vermilion. Come see all the amazing happenings of life on the farm! Join us for the day to meet the Wasylik family, see where your food comes from, learn more about farming, and enjoy a day out reconnecting with nature. You'll be able to see cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry, including some of the spring/early summer babies; guided garden tours will also be available. WISDOM will be providing snacks and beverages.For more information about Chatsworth Farm, or to see photos of previous farm tours, please visit their website and Instagram account.
Please bring: Your family picnic lunch. There will be a few tables available at the farm, but you'll need to bring your own lawn chairs and picnic blankets. Dress for the farm, with closed-toed shoes, layers, a hat (good for sun AND rain!), and water bottles; you can refill your water bottles at the farm hydrant. Also bring sunscreen, insect repellent, and hand sanitizer. Portapotties are available onsite.Farm products are available for purchase, so you might want to bring some cash and a cooler for farm fresh eggs, beef, lamb, pork, and flour.

Where: Red Deer - Kin Kanyon (meet at playground)
Whether in a survival situation or simply going for a hike, knowing where to find food and useful materials outdoors is an important skill. Participants will learn about the traditional uses of local plants, fungi and trees, as well as how to identify other useful materials that would support wilderness survival. The class will end with some spruce tip tea. Please bring your own reusable mug! This class makes a great precursor to the Wild Food and Outdoor Cooking class.
This program is geared towards home school students ages 6 – 17. While parents are not obligated to participate in these workshops, a parental representative must be present for students. Parents and younger siblings are also welcome to stay for the duration of the workshop free of charge. We ask that paid participants be given the space to fully engage and participate in the program.
We run our programs rain or shine and encourage parents/students to check the weather on the day of the workshop and dress accordingly. We suggest wearing layers, as well as long pants and closed toed shoes.
