The FOLC Farm

"I took WFA+CPR training in FOLC farm and I would high recommend to anyone who wish to be of help(or self-help) in the outdoor/wilderness as well as in the urban context. The course is super informative as well as practical. The outdoor scenario activities were very good practices for what’s learned in the lectures. Catherine is very competent as a trainer as she organizes the training and explains the materials well. Her paramedic background also adds more credibility and pragmatism to the training. She’s also a host with great hospitality. If you are thinking about taking a WFA/WFR course, this is the right place!"

"I took the Wilderness First Aid class, presented by Catherine, and had a great experience. She is an excellent communicator and a fun teacher. After taking the class I feel more capable and prepared to safely enjoy my time on the trail. Thanks Catherine!"

"We partnered with The FOLC Farm for a group wilderness first responder training in south Florida. The instructors were extremely thorough, clear, and creative. They were able to cater the course to our location and needs while still being comprehensive. Everyone came away feeling more prepared for emergencies that arise at work and in our personal lives. Excellent instruction and we even had fun! Thank you all again."

"Catherine and the team are amazing people, great educators, and awesome hosts. Learned a ton during a WFR course. Check out all their different programs and events."

"First time visitor to the farm - attended SOLO wilderness first aid course. Excellent training! first, the course itself was packed with information, and you are brought along in an easy to understand and logical manner providing valuable skills with both book-knowledge and multiple hands-on training sessions. Secondly, our instructor Catherine brought a wealth of personal knowledge and experience which set a solid foundation for me personally. She is an excellent trainer and gracious host! finally, the farm itself provided a great backdrop for the course along with the necessary amenities including provided snacks and drinks, restrooms (both indoor and outhouse) and a covered porch for the torrential rainstorm we experienced .. all in a quiet and serene backdrop of feeling you were in the woods, yet easy to find and only 10-15 min from Gainesville. I definitely plan to visit more often to experience the other activities and events provided!"
