• Tickets:

  • NO REFUNDS: All ticket sales are final. Tickets are non-refundable but may be transferable. If you are unable to attend, you may forward your tickets to someone else or to the next festival. Simply email us at hi@folkandforage.com to do so.

  • Waivers: All campers agree to our terms by purchasing a ticket. Folk & Forage and its partners will not be held liable for any accidents or injuries that may occur in connection with this event.

  • Kids: Kids are very welcome at Folk and Forage! We love to see the next generation of music lovers and foragers grow with this community. Kids 13 and under are free, while “kids” older than 13 need a ticket.

  • Volunteers: We will share the volunteer sign up a few months before the festival. Make sure you are signed up for our newsletter to know when to sign up.

​

• Venue:

  • Bathrooms: There are flush toilets located in the bathhouse next to the music meadow. Portapotties are located next to the camping, and workshop areas.

  • Showers: Showers are located in the bathhouse next to the music meadow. Don’t forget your towel and bath products!

  • Trash & Recycling: Pack it in, pack it out. There are limited trash & recycling services at this event, so please try to carry out what you bring in. 

  • DRINKING Water: There are multiple spigots with potable water scattered around the property. There are also sinks located in the bathhouse and a 3 basin sink located next to the workshop amphitheater. We recommend bringing a large vessel to fill up and take back to camp with you. The water does smell faintly of sulfur, so if this is not your jam, bring jugs of drinking water with you. 

  • GETTING AROUND THE PROPERTY: This is a large property, and we suggest bringing a bicycle to be able to zip around from activity to activity. The path from the music meadow to the workshop amphitheater/Grove Camping area requires walking up and down a narrow hilly path. Take this into consideration when packing as you will have to carry your items up and down this path.

​

• ACCOMMODATIONS:​​

  • ACCESSIBILITY: If you have any questions about accessible camping or need special arrangements, please email us at hi@folkandforage.com

  • Camping: All camping is first come first serve. There are multiple camping areas on the property, and we will help direct you to your perfect spot. ​

    • ​The majority of the tent camping sites are walk-in only. There is plenty of nearby parking; a short walk and our wheelbarrow will help get you to your site. 

    • If you are driving a larger camper vehicle like a Sprinter, ProMaster, or Transit, you will need a Large Vehicle Camping Permit. 

    • RVs and Travel Trailers, over 18' long, need RV Parking Permits (only 6!) available on a first-come-first-served basis. 

​

• MEALS & BEVERAGES:

  • MEALS: Folk & Forage offers TWO communal meals; Friday Potluck dinner and Sunday Stone Soup dinner. We encourage you to please bring an offering to contribute to these meals so that there is enough food for everyone. More details are below. 

    • You are responsible for bringing food for the other meals OR purchasing from our food vendors. ​

  • Friday Potluck Dinner: 

    • Please bring a dish to share that feeds 5 - 10 festival attendees.

    • If everyone brings a dish there will be plenty of food. Most folks bring a pre-made dish and heat it up before bringing it to the potluck.

    • Don’t forget serving utensils, platters, and anything else necessary to serve your dish.

    • All dishes will get labeled at the potluck so that our friends with dietary restrictions know what is included in each dish.

    • Please bring a plate, bowl and silverware to eat with.  

  • Sunday Stone Soup Dinner (vegan):

    • For those of you unfamiliar with the story of stone soup, it essentially means coming together to create a meal out of nothing. Everyone contributes one small thing which leads to an incredible bounty. This represents the power of cooperation and community, two values near and dear to Folk and Forage. 

    • We will provide alliums and spices. 

    • If you plan to join, bring a carton of vegetable broth and a vegetable of your choice and drop these items off at the Stone Soup area. 

    • Feel free to contribute any sides (meat, bread, cheese, etc), but we will keep the soup vegan to accommodate everyone.

    • This meal will be served buffet style, and please bring your own bowl and spoon.

  • Coffee: will be available courtesy of Trailhead Coffee Roasters on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Dairy half & half will be provided, but if you require a non-dairy option or sweetener, bring your own. Don’t forget your mug or camp cup!

  • TAVERN DRinks: Beverages will be available for purchase each night from 5 pm - 10 pm at the tavern in the music meadow.
