Growing Mushrooms with Sun English

October 23, 2021 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm

This introductory course is a step-by-step guide to growing mushrooms at home. Whether you’ve never grown a mushroom before or have tried with limited success, we’ll show you how to grow them on a small scale using simple methods and minimal equipment.

About the Speaker

Sun English Jr. is the founder of Melanated Medicinals–born out of a long search for ancestry through creativity and spirituality; and then the healing of the pain within that history through the use of traditional/ancestral medicine. Melanated Medicinals is now a legal grower of Hemp (one of very few minority holders of a hemp growing license) and the same farmland is used as a medicinal herb and food, and educational farm retreat.

***Our 2022 Foraging programs are right around the corner! On Nov. 26, Fox Haven will open registration for the 2022 Foraging Level 1 & 2 programs. Participants meet once a month, and each class focuses on a new herb or wild edible that’s in season. These classes are in high demand and tend to fill quickly. Please join our waitlist if you would like to be the first to know when tickets go live!

Refund Policy

·   All class ticket sales are considered a donation to Fox Haven and help us to fulfill our mission. Full refunds (minus a 20% processing fee) will be given to any participant canceling at least 30 days prior to the scheduled class date. Due to the nature of full series commitments, no refunds will be processed once the series has started.

·   Enrollment cannot be transferred to another class. If you are within the 30-day cancellation period, it is best to request a refund and sign up for the desired replacement.

About LandBack Tax

Beginning in 2022, Fox Haven will pay $2 from every ticket sale to the Piscataway Land Trust as a LandBack tax for the land Fox Haven inhabits. Land taxes to indigenous nations function similarly to paying rent or a home mortgage. Payments such as a mortgage provide access to living space, whereas LandBack taxes recognize our access to stolen Indigenous land.

 The Piscataway Land Trust is a long-term Indigenous-led effort led by the 501(c)(3) Cedarville Band of Piscataway Indians Inc. to restore and rematriate ancestral land and sovereignty in the Chesapeake region to Piscataway and other Chesapeake Indigenous people. To learn more or pay land tax, visit: www.piscatawayindians.com/projects

Weather Policy

In the event that inclement weather is predicted ahead of an event, you will receive 48 hours’ notice of cancellation or rescheduling. Otherwise, the event is assumed to be rain or shine. An alternative location may be provided if shelter is needed. We do not offer refunds for postponed events or no-shows. However, if Fox Haven cancels, a full refund will be issued.
