Circle D logo

Offering Farm Tours and Classroom Visits -  Located in Mt. Lorne

Why visit the Herbal Hearth?

Located on the banks of the Wheaton River and surrounded by mountains, the Herbal Hearth invites students to connect with both wild and cultivated land. Interactive tours of the berry and vegetable gardens explore garden ecology, edible weeds, permaculture principles, and food sovereignty. Sustainable harvest of Boreal plants from the gardens and surrounding forest can also be included. Possible activities include garden bed preparation, planting, compost making, worm feeding, harvesting and quiet time by the river, depending on the group and season. We are passionate teachers and happy to tailor the tour to your curriculum.

We also offer classroom visits with activities on vegetable fermentation, herbal preparations, worm composting or plant ID.

About our Farm

The Herbal Hearth is an off-grid home and venue that consists of 3 large garden areas and an outdoor kitchen, surrounded by a mixed spruce and poplar forest. Our gardens supply us with vegetables and berries for the year, as well as medicinal plants for ourselves and our business, Nomadic Harvests. We have an apothecary and make herbal medicinal products that we sell at the Fireweed Market in the summer. Our lives are paced and fed by the rhythm of the seasons, the river that flows nearby and the plants who are our teachers.
