Jenny Hauf
Muddy River Herbals Since 2006 Jenny has been devoting her life to plants. Her education in sustainable agriculture has taken her from the picket fences of Virginia to the sandhill crane's mating grounds in northern Wisconsin; from the sheep and goat pastures of Italy's Piemonte to the technicolor fields of County Cork. Before starting Muddy River Herbals, Jenny created and curated the medicinal herb collection at Allandale Farm, introducing homegrown medicinal plants to the people of Boston. When she's not elbow-deep in herbs you can find her writing, landscaping, or doing something—anything—with wool. |

Caitlin Moakley
Soil & Spirit Caitlin Moakley is a plant medicine advocate, floral and fungal foodie and champion of conscious ingredients in personal care. Caitlin is the heart and mind behind Soil and Spirit, an independent consultancy focusing on collaborating and creating with small businesses in the natural products industry and cannabis and psychedelic communities. She is also a core team member of environmental feminist group, Cosmic Sister. When Caitlin isn't thinking outside of the box with her clients, she's orchestrating quite the cacophony in the kitchen with her weapon of choice: the S-Blade or browsing through her many books in her home resource library. Caitlin is thrilled to be teaching at Harvest Fest this year, and can't wait to learn with you! |

Clair Moore
Plants & Provisions Clair is a California transplant who remembers that her first experiences with plants were the bundles of kelp she played with as a child on the beach, and subsequently tried to drag home, to her parents' dismay. She is now a clinical herbalist and yoga instructor in the Boston area. She created Plants and Provisions to fuse healthy food, herbs, and movement to empower her clients to take charge of their own health. She holds private herbal wellness sessions, teaches yoga all around the city, and teaches pharmacy students how to work with herbs and pharmaceuticals safely. In her spare time, you can find her practicing yoga, and wandering through the forest with her pup, Ice-T. |
