We are strong advocates of responsible and sustainable foraging techniques and we will show you how to collect your wild edibles in a way that will have little impact on the landscape.

One Day Foraging Course

Course description

Our one day foraging course will give you a fascinating insight into the best wildfoods of the season. You will spend a day in the woods learning to find and identify edible plants, seeds, nuts, flowers and fungi that grow wild in the British countryside.

Depending on the season we may be tapping trees for sap, gathering wild herbs or picking edible fungi, but no matter what we find you will learn how to prepare and transform foraged foods into great dishes, preserves and drinks.

During the day we will also look at the preparation of some in season wild game and how to cook it over an open fire.  However we do cater for vegetarians and there are always alternative activities and menus for those who do not eat meat.

Lunch is included in the course and we will cook this together using foraged ingredients as well as some extras from the store cupboard.
