Blackpit Farm was once part of the famous Stowe Estate and is located between it and Silverstone Racetrack. It is blessed with coniferous and broadleaf woodlands, and wide grassy rides.

This venue is well served by road links and is within easy reach of Towcester, Buckingham, Brackley, Northampton, Milton Keynes, Bicester, Banbury, Daventry, Oxford and Leighton Buzzard.

When we meet up, we will go through laws and safety points of foraging before heading out to discover the wild food in the area.
The course includes (subject to Covid restrictions):
- an overview of foraging laws and safety best practice
- introduction to a number of edible species
- instruction on how to tell edible species apart from poisonous lookalikes
- information on where to find these species again
- recipe ideas
- wild food sample/s such as soup, jam, jelly, pesto, ferments, vinegar or cordial
- digital information sheet after the course
Age limit
Participants must be aged 18 years or older - no children under 18 or babes in arms allowed on this course
Dogs
Dogs are not allowed to be brought along on this course
Please note, we do not harvest species to take away on our courses.
We cannot guarantee what species will be growing on any given course date. Springtime and summer courses should be predominantly plant focused, with mushrooms sometimes found. Summer courses may also have fruits, flowers and perhaps some mushrooms to learn about. Autumn courses should have more mushrooms than springtime with sometimes a small amount of plants available.
