2025 Annual Foray Site Information:
NAMA’s 2025 Annual Foray will convene at Potash Hill, a repurposed former college campus, near Marlboro, Vermont.
The lush campus and grounds of Potash Hill feature a variety of housing and community-space options more than ample for our Annual Foray needs as well as hundreds of acres of lush woodland renowned for fungal bounty. Situated in the southern Vermont between Brattleboro and Wilmington, the facility is encompassed by a 560-acre property with early 19th century farm houses, arts and academic buildings, expansive views and undeveloped forests with an extensive network of trails. Hartford’s Bradley Airport is located about 90 minutes away and Boston’s Logan Airport is 2.5 hours’ drive. There is also daily train service to Brattleboro from East Coast cities.
Most of the cleared areas and buildings on the central campus are contained within approximately 65 acres. The rest of the campus is primarily undeveloped forest, which Potash Hill’s management is committed to preserving.
