Wild Folk Herb Farm
Welcome to the
Wild Folk Botanical Academy
Over 20 years ago, Dane had a dream to start an Academy that was infused in botany, magic & science. The word Academy dates back to Plato's school of philosophy, Akademia. This was the sanctuary of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and skill, a place where scholars, scientists & artists would gather to learn.
10 years ago, Dane and I began our journey as small-scale herb growers, following the plant path that has now been forged so deeply within our hearts. It is through our shared passion, skillsets & love of the green world that we have co-created the Wild Folk Botanical Academy.
Today, we are so proud to be offering several different on-the-farm classes, workshops & courses for both adults & kids!

Student Testimonials
"Dane and Storii share their beautiful hearts and passions to help us awaken within the magic and knowledge we carry by bringing us closer to the life of plants and how they can support us through our life's journey. These classes are an immersion into the soul of all things living! "
-Deb, 2023 Graduate
"Störii & Dane's herbal immersion course has offered me a truly rich and comprehensive dive into herbal medicine, and one that has changed the way I view the natural world around me, including my own backyard garden. Their teaching conveys a deep reverence for the plant world, that is both infectious and heartening and it slowly shifts the student's view point to arrive at a layered understanding of the beautiful interconnectedness of plants and people. With a sense of both passion and lighthearted fun they bring their students to the plants to connect as old friends, delivering the message over and over again that plant medicine is in our blood and lineage and that our shared histories and co-evolution mean that we can reunite with our plant ancestors through the simple acts of observation, presence, and medicine making. I find that this course has changed my view of my own garden, made me feel much more at home in our forests and on our coastlines, given me the confidence to know that I can build a comprehensive apothecary from the plants in my own backyard, and inspired me to find daily joy and inspiration as a learner as we move through the seasons of the year alongside our plant ancestors."

"The Spirit of the Hedgerow has been very present with me since our weekend together.
The medicines we made have traveled with me, and been shared in really precious moments... alongside ancestry work, in ceremony, and among other herbalists (who really appreciated what we made) while exchanging stories of the plants.
Such a sweetness lingering in my heart and soooo much gratitude for your work.
I feel re-inspired by the depth of this plant path, and so touched by how profoundly the plants can communicate with us.
I hope to keep learning with & from you (and Dane) for many years to come!"
-Safiya, 2025 Weekend Retreat Student
"Dane an Storii completely transformed my relationship with plant medicine. Through a beautifully cyclical journey that followed the rhythms of the seasons, they offered teachings that felt deeply relevant to the times we’re living in. I left the program feeling grounded, inspired, and far more confident in practicing herbalism in a way that truly suits me...intuitively, holistically, and in harmony with nature’s cycles."
-Sammy, 2024 & 2025 Graduate
Joining the Wild Folk Botanical Academy was a life-changing experience. From the very first weekend, I felt deeply connected—not just to the plants, but to a community of like-minded souls who share a passion for herbal medicine, ecology, and a holistic way of being. The hands-on learning, from sowing seeds and harvesting plants to making tinctures and salves on the farm, brought the teachings to life in a way no textbook ever could. Storii and Dane are incredibly knowledgeable and nurturing mentors, blending science and magic in a way that’s both grounded and inspiring. I left the program not only with practical skills and confidence, but with a renewed sense of purpose and a deeper relationship with the natural and spiritual worlds.”
