Service Description

o Sun 22 Jun o Sun 6 Jul o Sun 20 Jul o Sun 3 Aug o Sun 17 Aug o Sun 31 Aug o Sun 7 Sep (only 1 spot left) We will meet at 10am at a very special and incredibly bountiful spot, along the banks of the scenic Severn Estuary, just outside Chepstow, where we will begin our forage with a gentle meander to explore the myriad of wild edibles available in meadows, hedgerows & salt marsh coastal flats. We will nibble our way along on our edible treasure hunt, as we encounter each ingredient, and I'll keep you fueled up as we enjoy lovingly pre-prepared foraged refreshments throughout the morning. Foraging is all about habitat; as the lay of the land changes, so does the repertoire of wild edibles available. So to show you as wide a variety as possible, we will then head to a second site just a short drive away, with that location varying depending on the time of year, and what is abundant. It may be ancient woodland, or a coastal location. I will introduce you to a multitude of foraged foods, from fruits to fungi, foliage to flowers, herbs, vegetables, roots & spices! I will teach you how to find, identify, sustainably harvest and use all of the incredible wild ingredients we encounter in delicious recipes, and at the end of the day, we will enjoy a splendid wild food feast!
