Sporulate Learning Farm is nestled on three creekside acres in the Rogue Valley between the Siskiyou and Cascade Mountain Ranges of Ashland, Oregon. The farm features gourmet and medicinal mushrooms, herbs, flowers and vegetables. The four human friends who live here enjoy Japanese woodworking, raising creatures (a kitty, 3 chickens, thousands of mealworms), dancing, crafting meals, writing, making music, nurturing wildlife, theater, and loving life. Us humans are thankful to occupy the space with the myriad wild creatures, plants and fungi in addition to those we raise and cultivate. We hold a deep gratitude and respect for indigenous peoples who called these lands home long before we arrived.
