Wanting to get back to your roots and learn a more natural way to live? Flourish Farmstead in Godfrey can help with that! The Stevens family brings the art of natural, wholesome food and medicine to Godfrey at their farm and through the region. Take classes at the Flourish Folk School to learn about foraging for both kids and adults, botanical workshops, farm to table cooking, medicinal classes, canning, fermenting, making DIY natural household cleaners, organic gardening, making bath and skincare products, and more.

A member of the Botanical Sanctuary Network, Flourish also offers apothecary services, runs the Flourish School of Botanicals, provides consultation and design services including garden and land planning services, art, graphic design, and business consulting.
