Taster Foraging Workshop: Low Sizergh Barn

About

 

Our 'Taster' events are our shortest workshops, open to anyone looking for a brief but informative introduction to the wonderful world of foraging. No formal food is provided, but there will still be plenty of tasting along the way.

DURATION: 2 hours

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 regarding the safety and format of the day

• discussions around foraging tips, safety, ethics, etiquette, sustainability and the law

• a circular walking route taking in different growing environments around the site. Expect a route of around 2-3km predominantly on footpaths

• 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 - this may even include freshly-picked items straight from the wild.

• our workshops are run in a welcoming and informal fashion, where attendee questions and contributions are encouraged

• after the event, you will be sent a follow-up email containing a list of everything we found on the day. Please do not expect photos or descriptions in this email - it is purely a list for reference purposes, and we find it helps people do further research in their own time.
