Our wild food weekend will teach you about the best wild foods of the season. You will forage, prepare, cook and eat from nature’s larder.  Our outdoor kitchen is stocked with ingredients to accompany the wild foods and there are wood fired cooking fires and a clay oven to help us prepare great meals together.

Foraging brings a variety of rewards throughout the year and every course is different. In early spring we might be tapping the sap from trees and eating delicious young greens. Summer courses can use the hedgerow blossoms to make savouries, drinks and sweets. And then there are the fruits, berries, nuts and fungi of late summer and autumn.

Wild meat and fish are also covered on the course and there will be the opportunity to skin rabbits and bone fish with your hands, in a real back to nature way. Depending on seasonal availability there could be other wild game and a session on hot smoking.

During the course we will look at preserving wild foods and flavours in different ways. We will show you different techniques and give you samples to try.

In amongst the cooking, foraging and learning there will be time to relax too. The woods are there to be explored.  There are campfires to sit around and books to read.

The cost of the course includes tuition, use of tools, camping in the woods in your own tent or one of our tipis and all meals.
Places are limited to 8 per course.
