Office Hours is the Driftless Folk School’s soon-to-be-launched virtual hangout with a featured DFS instructor in an informal, open forum. Monthly sessions will feature a different theme drawn from the instructor’s area of expertise - from fermentation to foraging, sewing to raising chickens. There’s no presentation or slideshow. Just a one-hour window for you to satisfy your curiosities, connect with others in the DFS community, and soak up some knowledge. Whether you pop in to get one question answered, or stay the whole time, Office Hours is your space to go deeper, get inspired, and stay curious.
We are offering our first Office Hours session free of charge! Bring your curiosity (and your good graces!) as we bring this vision to life for the very first time.
Date: Wednesday, November 12, 2025
Time: 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Ages: All ages welcome, but discussion will be at an adult level
