In 2022, he completed a month of foraging 100% of his food – with no gardens – down to the salt, oil and spices. He began passionately leading plant walks in 2022 and has a wealth of practical advice to share from experience of how you can truly break free from the global, industrial food system and live happily on the abundance of Earth. At the same time as being a highly experienced forager, he remembers what it was like to feel confused and overwhelmed and he is able to meet every new or advanced forager where they are at to be of best service. As of October 9th, 2025, he is immersed in a year of foraging 100% of his food, based in his homeland of Northern Wisconsin and is traveling the nation living by example and sharing his knowledge. He would absolutely LOVE to connect with you at Foraging School, sharing his deep experience and relationship with our plant relatives.Summer Tour Foraging Walk Events:7/10-12 - Ashland, WI Foraging School7/27 - Manhattan, NY7/28 - Queens, NY7/29 - The Bronx, NY7/30 - Brooklyn, NY7/31 - Staten Island, NY8/1-2 - Mycofest - Artemas, PA8/4 - Washington, D.C8/8 - Cleveland, OH8/9 - Detroit, MI8/10 - Chicago, IL8/12 - Milwaukee, WI8/17 - Minneapolis, MN8/22 - Duluth, MN Foraging SchoolAll information for Robin's Year of Foraging and events can be found here. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/faribault/foraging-school-faribault-minnesota/100001992919493854 - **Event Categories**: nonprofit, workshops, sports, trips-adventures, camping - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 6 hours - Location: Organic Compound - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Faribault - **state**: MN - **country**: United States - **location**: Organic Compound - **lat**: 44.326072 - **long**: -93.1995929 - **full address**: Organic Compound, 18125 Eiler Avenue, Faribault, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Foraging School - Faribault, Minnesota - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/066c348f4eac5bca55607a66c880e8a85b85e81906d9d224a1fa9cb0ba50c86b-rimg-w1200-h600-dcf2f2f0-gmir.jpg?v=1782918127 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Foraging School - Faribault, Minnesota being held? - **A:** Foraging School - Faribault, Minnesota takes place on Fri, 14 Aug, 2026 at 05:00 pm to Fri, 14 Aug, 2026 at 11:00 pm at Organic Compound, 18125 Eiler Avenue, Faribault, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Foraging School - Faribault, Minnesota? - **A:** Foraging School - Faribault, Minnesota is organized by Robin Greenfield. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
