Co-President
Torie Foote
Torie Foote has worked or taught in the health field for all of her adult life. It was only natural to expand her efforts toward the healing powers of plants. When she first moved to this area she apprenticed with several herbalists to learn more about local plants. She joined forces with Mary Schmidt to start the herbal Guild so she could learn more and share what they have with others.

Faire Chair
Jessica's travels schooled her in permaculture, herbs, community living and a host of other skills. She can be found mothering her children, teaching classes at Between the Rivers, supporting the Faire and spreading herbal knowledge in the Inland Northwest.
