What is Foraging
Foraging is searching for, identifying and collecting natural food resources. These include a wide variety of ingredients dependent on season and location. Most people have foraged without even knowing it. If you’ve picked a blackberry from a bush, you’ve participated in foraging.
It can sometimes be difficult to find out where the food on our plate comes from, even in supermarkets it’s often tricky to learn the source. Aside from the huge environmental benefits foraging has, it’s also a fun and useful practice that encourages a healthy relationship with food.What to Expect
Experience an expert foraging and wood fired cooking experience in our beautiful mature woodlands in Oxfordshire. Go on a foraging walk with trained herbalist and forager Justine Gens. Learn to identify and forage plants in the woods and open glades. Gather wood from the woodland floor, light a campfire and cook over an open fire.
Ingredients and recipes will vary according to the season and so far have included foraged mushroom pizza, nettle pesto and wood fired focaccia, pretzels, fresh pasta and salted crepes. This will then be washed down by some warming herbal teas or hot chocolate.
