Private Foraging Classes Block of Ten

Foraging is becoming a lost art, but it is something every human should know how to do. Modern day is causing the knowledge we inherited from our ancestors to be forgotten. By learning to forage privately with an expert forager, you can ensure these skills and vital knowledge is being passed on on your terms.

You can tailor what you’d like to learn about completely. Don’t like mushrooms? Sure - we won’t forage for them! Sick of wild garlic? There are other delicious, pungent herbs to discover instead!

Collective harvesting and having the peace of mind that a professional is by your side will result in a large bounty of wild food for you to take home and use in your meals. With their expertise on preparation, flavour combinations and preservation techniques, you’ll have all the knowledge you’ll need to be a confident forager in no time.

DOGS

Your furry friends are allowed on these forages, but please do be aware they will get bored of the frequent stops we will be making! I’ve foraged with a lot of very cute pooches and even the best behaved of dogs got annoyed with me wanting to stay still in the woods for long periods of time! Just keep this in mind when wanting to get the most out of your private walk.

WHAT TO BRING

On your walk the essentials are sturdy footwear, clothing for the weather and something to collect your goodies such as a basket or bag. You can add the ‘intro to foraging’ package to your first walk if you’d like to purchase a bag or basket for our forager to bring to your first session. We also recommend a bottle of water to stay hydrated and a snack while out and about.

LOCATION

We have five sites available across the South Downs and Surrey Hills, different spots shine in different seasons so we can make recommendations for areas that we think are best. However, these are always flexible and the areas closest to you can be chosen for easier access.
