A Wild Home

A Wild Home Home of the Florida Wild School 📍 Downtown Brooksville, FL We raised our children on our 4-acre historic, permaculture farm(Luna Hill Farm) for 10 years.

A Wild Home is a nature-connected, permaculture-designed learning space for children, families, & community 🌿

Cultivating Community, Celebrating Curiosity, & Nurturing Wonder, with Nature. While we lived there, we ran various community building events, ranging from Yoga on the lawn, a monthly Women's Listening Circle for 7 years, foraging classes in our 2 acre Forest Garden, Medicinal Plant class

es from our herb spiral, community gatherings of all sorts, & farm tours. We also ran the Luna Hill Wild School, where children from ages 4-13 came to learn about mindfulness, permaculture & organic gardening, carpentry, animal husbandry, foraging, connecting with the moons cycles, healthy communication, & more! In 2019 we decided to do something we'd been contemplating for a while-convert a bus and travel with our kids as a natural evolution to their(and our!)education. AJ design the bus & John built the conversion all by hand in 3 1/2 months & we left our hometown on December 1st, starting our (at least)year-long adventure exploring the U.S.! After traveling for 2 years, visiting 19 National Parks & 21 States, we moved out of our skoolie & into a home on a quiet brick street, in beautiful downtown Brooksville, FL! AJ & John now run another Wild School here, while converting the land to a rich learning environment from AJ's design plan.

🔥 Last day for Fire Camp was awesome!

We taught on Florida fire ecology, prescribed burns, revisited previously taught fire starting skills…but!

🌧️ It had rained- a LOT! So, new challenge & kids did great- collecting tinder, kindling, and larger fuel to not only start, but keep it going.

🫑Collected food from the garden and enjoyed a snack cooked over the fire that they started.

Next week:
🪱Soil Week- campers will learn, play games, and engage in activities all about dirt AND make their own worm farm to take home!

🔨Woodshop Camp is full- where they will build Stilts & Slingshots! 💚AJ + John

“CHOMP!” Five-year-old Iris opens her mouth wide and gobbles up a handful of wood sorrel. Sometimes called sourgrass, this wild edible looks quite similar to clover. “Clover is more rounded and has a little white border on the leaves,” Amanda Jo Boener explains to the excited kids circled ar...
