Foraging Courses in Oxfordshire

Get ready for an adventure with a Totally Wild UK professional forager on our Forage and Cookery Course in Oxfordshire! Join us on a journey to learn about the hidden world of wild edibles that surrounds us. And that’s not all! Enjoy a delicious wild food meal that will inspire you to pick up your foraging basket for your next adventure.

What to Expect on the Forage and Cookery Course in Oxfordshire

The foraging experience will last approximately 5-6 hours, giving you ample time to learn about foraging, explore the area, and enjoy a wild food meal!

You will be guided by a professional forager who will teach you about the rules and ethics of foraging. You’ll receive tips on how to confidently identify different plants, including their edible, medicinal, and herbal uses.

The foraging experience will involve a slow-paced walk with frequent stops to discuss and identify various plants, fruits, fungi, seaweeds, and tubers. The species you encounter may vary depending on the location, whether it’s an inland or coastal walk, and the season, but they’ll always be epic.

During the day, you’ll have the opportunity to sample an assortment of pre-made wild food items, including syrups, flavoured salts, and alcohol infusions. These wild treats will give you a sneak peek into the incredible flavours that nature has to offer.

Following the foraging expedition, you can opt to participate in a communal cooking session, creating dishes that are inspired by the season and that celebrate the bounty of nature. 

Past meals have included dishes like:

** Wild Garlic and Dehydrated Mushroom Fresh Rolls 

** Elderflower Eton Mess

** Dandelion and Dulse Rice Noodle Salad

** Dandelion Root Crumb, Meadowsweet Cream & Birch Sap Syrup

After the event, you will receive an email detailing everything you foraged during the day, including harvesting tips, edibility and the best ways to get these tantalising ingredients into your everyday diets. The email will also include recipes from the lunch you enjoyed, so you can recreate the magic at home! 

WHAT TO BRING

• Suitable clothing for the predicted weather, such as long trousers to protect against nettles and brambles.
• Sturdy footwear, preferably closed-toed shoes for off-path exploration.
• A drink, as some wild flavours may be strong, and it’s advisable to have water for the day.
• Snacks for the foraging walk, as lunch will be served around 2/3pm.
• A pad or paper if you wish to take notes.
• A blanket or chair for the communal meal, as seating options may vary depending on the venue.

Whether you’re a beginner or someone who wants to deepen their knowledge, our foraging walk in Oxfordshire is 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 & 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.

If you have not received this email by the end of the Monday before the event please contact us. 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.
