Every season brings about something fresh to forage, with a variety of plants, berries and mushrooms to identify. You'll be guided by the expertise of our in-house seasoned forager and hunter-gatherer chef, Rob, for an immersive day in nature, where you’ll learn the art of foraging and connect with the land, finishing with a tasty seasonal lunch by the fire. 🌿 What You’ll Learn: Gain hands-on experience identifying and safely foraging delicious wild ingredients, that are free, abundant and packed full of nutrients. Our aim is to create a day focused on connection, with food, nature and each other while savouring the beauty of the changing seasons.
👣 What to Expect on the Foraging Walk:
Begin with a warm northern welcome and a seasonal wild brew as we gather by the fire and share more info about the day.
Guided foraging walk, the path is mostly flat and includes woodland and coastal scenes. You should be comfortable walking up to 2 miles. We will be stopping at various points and the pace will always be steady, this will take approximately 2.5 hours.
We'll be identifying lots of plant species and learning about the plant properties and medical benefits as well as getting the opportunity to taste along the way.
🔥 What to Expect for the Lunch:
Recap of foraged finds in the rustic 'Out Barn' whilst we enjoy a well-deserved sit-down and try some wild tea tonics.
Our chef and forager will begin preparing a delicious seasonal lunch over the fire.
Enjoy a 2-course lunch, featuring the best of the morning’s foraged ingredients and other locally sourced produce.
We love to get you trying as many seasonal teas and tonics as we’ve foraged, we also have a wide selection of artisan tea and Atkinson's coffee as well as mushroom teas and organic cacao included.
Additionally, we have a cashless bar offering local craft beers from Farm Yard Ales, wines, and soft drinks.
