About

Learn to forage for wild food around the beautiful Lake District! We believe that wild and foraged food is better for you and the planet, so there is no better way of sourcing your food - even if that's a tiny handful of wild garlic for your tea! Join one of our experts at various locations around the region on sessions ranging from 2 hour 'Taster' events to all-day cooking workshops and our popular 'Forage & Feast' events. We even offer Wild Butchery and Wild Fermentation experiences for those looking for a deeper dive into the wonderful world of wild food! Book onto one of our public workshops or get in touch to arrange a bespoke private experience.
