Foraging Course in Sussex

Description

Whether you’re a beginner, or someone who wants to deepen their knowledge, our foraging walks in Norfolk are the perfect way to learn all about wild food. WHAT TO EXPECT: To begin, we will go through the basics of foraging, how Totally Wild got started, and some of the best practices we’ve found along the way. We will then head out on our walk to discover what exciting wild foods are growing nearby from flowers to fruits, fungi, seaweeds and tubers – there’s plenty to find. We run our courses throughout the year, so you can experience the changing habitats and plants through the different seasons. During the foraging event, your professional forager will introduce you to a vast number of edible species; giving you tips on harvesting, correct identification, and possible look-alikes as well as a huge range of cooking ideas. You will have an opportunity to taste a range of pre-made wild food tasters from syrups, flavoured salts and alcohol infusions. FOLLOWING THE EVENT: You’ll be sent an email detailing everything you found on the day, along with some tips on harvesting and how to use wild food in everyday life. WHAT TO BRING: Ultimately bring along anything you feel necessary for a day outdoors. We will be outside for the majority of the course during rain or shine. We do advise the following items: - Suitable clothing for the predicted weather (an umbrella if it’s predicted rain). - Sturdy footwear. Walking boots are highly recommended. - A drink – some wild flavours may be strong and water is always advised for a days foraging. - Snacks should you feel the need for them during the foraging walk. - A pad or paper should you wish to take notes. EXTRA BITS: Finalised course details are sent out on the Monday before the event to the email address used during the booking process. This email will include the specific meeting location for the course and an introduction to your forager for the day. If you have not received this email by the end of the Monday before the event please contact us via the 'message the tutor' button. On the odd occasion our emails can end up in junk folders so please check there first. We can never guarantee what will be found on our courses. One of the joys of foraging is eating truly seasonal ingredients and never quite knowing what to expect! What we’ll see and eat will vary from season to season and venue to venue. Our foraging events are run outdoors, and they take place in rain or shine. Please bring appropriate clothing and shoes for the predicted weather conditions. Children are welcome on our courses, and children under the age of 12 may attend for free, with one child attending per ticketed adult.

Our main goal is to excite people with the amazing flavours to be found in the wild. On our Foraging Courses you’ll see that wild food is everywhere, when foraging in London you’ll find a unique range, compared to foraging in Cheshire with its relaxing countryside, when foraging in Scotland the deep woods offer bounty of mushrooms and foraging in Wales gives us amazing access to rural coastlines. Our team is constantly exploring and developing our range of foraging courses so we can make your learning experience as fun and valuable as possible.
