About Totally Wild UK
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.
Whether you try foraged foods for the first time through our signature foraged preserves, giving you a flavour of seasonal wild food at home, or taste the amazing flavour of foraged ingredients at an evening out in one of your favourite restaurants, watch one of our foraging talks or demos at your local food festival, or join us on of our hands on in depth wild food foraging and cookery experiences.
We also want to support foragers, the art of foraging and take a responsible role in the sustainable collection of wild food, allowing nature to flourish as we interact with wild spaces. We believe in safe foraging for our guests, we are rather strict on our in house risk assessments, training and development because we want you to have a truly fantastic and memorable experience.
