one-day course

wild food forage


location: nr Totnes, Devon

Discover some of the hidden resources of Devon’s plants and trees in a whole day of foraging, harvesting, cooking and sampling.

Our native floral kingdom is abundant in edible and useful plants and trees, many of which are very well known and commonly seen as weeds.

Their many uses were highly respected by our ancestors in times past, when wild plants were relied upon for food, medicine and textiles.

This day's course will explore some local, seasonal plants and their various uses.

We will identify and gather some edible and tasty varieties and look at different ways to prepare and cook them.

The day will leave you with enough knowledge to sample and harvest a variety of plants in your own days out in the countryside.

Enjoy the bounty, along with other foraged foods in a beautiful outdoor restaurant for a delicious 3-course meal celebrating the natural abundance of the countryside. Places can be booked along with this course for the reduced price of £20, 6pm to 10pm.
