Foraging Experiences
Foraging is my full-time profession and my passion; when I am not foraging for work, you will find me foraging for fun!
​
Join me for a forage, I'd love to share my edible wild world with you!
Various foraging experiences, foraging courses and foraging workshop offerings are available to book throughout the year, across the seasons. I would love for you to join me and my loyal canine companion (and incredible mushroom-hunter!), Samphire, for an exciting immersion into the world of foraging!
​
I will teach you how to find, identify, sustainably harvest and use every wild ingredient we encounter, in delicious food and drink recipes, as well as detailing their folklore, medicinal & nutritional benefits.
​
Prepare to be amazed by the incredible flavours on your doorstep, from fabulous fungi to mind-blowing hedgerow, meadow and estuary herbs, fruits, nuts, seeds, roots, spices, flowers, salad leaves, vegetables & more!
