We'll introduce you to 15-25 species of wild edible plants and fungus, with a focus on their use in the home kitchen - covering ideas for savoury dishes, desserts, and beverages. We'll get you started if you're new to it, or level you up if you've already got your feet wet.
(Tip: if you're interested in morels - no promises, but we've tracked them down every year for the past 4 years on our late May/early June 'Boreal' walks.)
We're currently rolling out our 2025 calendar, so stay tuned for additional dates and locations - best place for updates is our newsletter!
