Forage And Feast Experience In The Northwest

Spend 5 hours finding, identifying, and tasting wild ingredients. This foraging experience has a feast at the end. Always wild. Always sustainable. Always delicious.

WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?

At the start of the day, you will be given a briefing on the safety, ethics, and etiquette of foraging, and also the laws, for yes, there are laws around foraging. It is also about taking what you need and not just grabbing at everything you see. The walk will cover about 3-4 kilometers of paths, as you search out edible wild species and learn how to spot poisonous look-alikes from a professional forager. This is a chance to slow down, meet new people, and reconnect with nature. There are lots of flavours to be discovered in our hedgerows, and even if you never pick another leaf from the wild, you will have learned a lot about our native plants and sustainability.

The feast at the end of the day will have been prepared in advance by your tutor - and it is a feast. Menus are seasonal, often consisting of over 30 different wild ingredients. There will be up to five different courses, and two drink options, so you will be able to taste the extraordinary flavours that nature provides. The feast comes in your own personal ‘forage box’ - a cool bag with a bento box filled with deliciousness. Every forager will have their own recipes, and menus will of course reflect the seasons. What will you get? How does nettle and wild fennel quiche sound? A wild garlic pesto, pickled hogweed with braised pigeon breast, wild parasol mushroom risotto and roasted chestnuts - you get the idea. It will certainly inspire you to get out there and discover the bounty on your doorstep.
