This course is designed to get you as involved as possible - this includes identifying, picking and tasting a range of wild species that will be found on the day. There will also be samples of wild food and drink for everyone to get stuck into and a pre-made wild snack!
Forage Box like to keep some elements a surprise for the day, but here is what you can expect from your foraging workshop:
A short introduction regarding the safety and format of the day
Discussions covering foraging tips, safety, ethics, etiquette, sustainability and the law
A circular walking route taking in different growing environments around the site. Expect a route of around 2-3km predominantly on footpaths.
A closer look at edible wild species and any poisonous lookalikes by a professional forager
A chance to slow the pace of modern life down, meet new people and immerse yourself in a soul-nourishing activity, reconnecting with nature and discovering new flavours
Small tasters of wild food, drinks and other preserves - this includes freshly-picked items straight from the wild and a wild snack. Your wild snack might be something you find on the day freshly cooked in the woods, a hunk of homemade sourdough with some wild pesto or even a big slice of cake
Each course is run in an informal fashion, where attendee questions and contributions are more than welcome
After the event, you will be sent a follow-up email containing a list of everything we found on the day
