Frequently asked questions
We will start the foray in the LOWER PARKING LOT at Forty Acre Rock. Look for signs.
The intended trail ranges for easy with moderate difficulty levels so proper hiking shoes and a walking stick are recommended. You might also want to bring water, a cell phone/camera, bug spray, a snack, and an easy-to-carry bag/backpack.
Despite the guides' best efforts we cannot guarantee that mushrooms will be found during our hike. If mushrooms are located we strongly advise that they NOT be consumed. If you select to eat them you do so at your own risk and Winding Brook Farms is not responsible for the outcome of your choices.
Mature (50+) Adults (20+) Teens & Kids (12+) are also welcome as pacing will match the group. Younger children can enjoy the "Get Outside- family forays" that we offer.
Participants will be notified by phone by text of the location (make sure you check the travel time to Forty Acre Rock from your location). If you are running late please call 704-795-8313 and we can wait up to five minutes for you all to arrive if you call ahead.
As always, when hiking you do so at your own risk and Winding Brook Farms - mushrooms and more is not liable for injury, snake bite, or illness. You will be asked to sign a “hold harmless” waiver at the beginning of the afternoon's adventure.
Since this is a mixed group of all ages our dog pals will need to stay at home. If you are interested in participating in a foray that includes dogs, let us know! We would love to arrange a "best buddy" dog foray event. Email us at windingbrookfarms@gmail.com
The foray is held outside and will only be canceled due to severe weather. We also understand that sometimes "life happens" and you might not be able to attend. Any fees collected can be applied to future events or our fresh culinary mushroom products. At this time we do not offer refunds.
