Discover the wild food waiting to be found during a 4-hour workshop, including all important identification guidance. Explore while walking the Kiplin estate to find and taste wild ingredients with a foraging expert.
This course is designed to get you as involved as possible – this includes identifying, picking and tasting a range of wild species that will be found on the day. There will also be lots of samples of food and drink for everyone to get stuck into!
The focus with all of our workshops is on the 4 ‘F’s of Foraging: Fungi, Fruit, Flowers and Foliage. We aim for an array of these elements on every session we run (weather and season permitting!)
We like to keep some elements a surprise for the day, but here is what you can expect from your foraging workshop:
- a short introduction outlining foraging tips, safety, ethics, etiquette and law
- a circular walking route taking in different growing environments around the site
- a closer look at edible wild species and any poisonous lookalikes by a professional forager
- a chance to slow the pace of modern life down, meet new people and immerse yourself in a soul-nourishing activity, reconnecting with nature and discovering new flavours.
- small tasters of wild food, drink and preserves. These may include liqueurs, syrups, salts, jams, wines and even freshly-picked items straight from the hedgerow. We’ve even been known to fry up some species we find on the day or enjoy a fresh pot of wild tea using plants found on site!
- each course is run with in an informal fashion, where attendee questions and contributions are more than welcome
Expect a route of around 1-2km predominantly on footpaths.
