A Grand Day Out
A day full of fun, learning, tasting and investigating. Under the watchful eye of our foraging instructor, Hazel, we were introduced to the endless selection of edible goodies growing around our countryside and available, free of charge, to pick, cook and enjoy. We enjoyed nettle drink, birch syrup, cooked wild fungi, ground elder, Hawthorne blossom and many, many tasty bites that, at the end of the day were combined to prepare a four course feast for the group to enjoy.

Happy Foraging
Went on a foraging walk with a very experienced tutor who made it fun and educational. We got to walk in some beautiful countryside and gather produce for a lunch later on. We learnt lots along the way and got to taste samples of syrups that Fez had brought along. It was a brill event despite bad weather for the last hour. Lunch was very tasty and we went away with a good basic knowledge ready to continue foraging safely. Would recommend course. Thanks Fez

Great Experience!
Great value for money, our guide Al, was amazing, funny and very knowledgable, he made our day. Lots of layers are required, good footwear and drinks and snacks needed, as lunch is quite late but provided very delicious. Highly recommended.

Informative, Fun & Hugely Enjoyable
Our host Jemima was friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. I learnt a great deal about the plants and trees that were edible together with the medicinal properties of some of them, and those to leave well alone! The day was rounded off by us cooking our pickings and thoroughly enjoying all the flavours. It has spurred my friend and I on to having our own foraging trails in our local neck of the woods. An excellent day out and an amazing gift.

Great intro to foraging
An excellent day led by Hazel, who explained the differences to look for when foraging and how to identify those safe edibles, our day concluded with a meal cooked with the ingredients we had found including sorrel, wild garlic, ground alder, pigs ears fungi and elf cup fungi. An interesting insightful and fun day.

Foraging in the Wirral
Can you believe the amount of stuff out there at the is time of year ready for the picking?!! Our guide Fez took us through looking out for Yarrow, Ribwort, Gorse flower and many others [with plenty of caution on mushrooms] before we cooked a superb meal with our harvest. I would never have believed there is so much to be had. It was a great day out.

Amazing Experience
Amazing experience with a friendly & knowledgeable guide. We started with a gentle walk through woodland looking for wild edibles, and our guide would identify things we could eat, and things we should leave alone. The walk lasted for about an hour, and then we went back to cook a three course meal with some edibles we found and others they had brought along. Really great experience, getting to see and taste whats available. I thoroughly recommend and would do it again in a different season!

Brilliant day in the woods
Had a great day, foraging round the beautiful Grizedale Forest in the Lake District.. gorgeous autumn woodland, excellent,friendly company, and a knowledgeable,entertaining and friendly host. We discovered lots to eat, even some 'weeds' that grow in our own garden, and some lovely mushrooms. We then prepared, cooked and ate the things we had found, everyone joined in, lots of chat and laughter. The food was delicious, and Kris was an excellent host, and eventhe weather was kind to us.We hope th

Wonderful & informative
The full day foraging & cooking for two was a brilliant experience! We had a wonderful time out in the woods, connecting with lovely people, and Lauren was brilliant explaining everything clearly. We learnt about various edible trees, bushes and berries and sampled various forms they could take. My favourite were Sorrels, birch syrup, and elder & sloe gin! The day ended on a high cooking our day's findings into a delicious 3 course meal which we shared outside. I'll be making the crumble again!

So much to learn!
We thoroughly enjoyed our foraging experience (despite the weather!) I was interested to learn about the plants we walk past on an everyday basis and how they can be used for cooking or medicine. It was also helpful to learn about poisonous plants and what to avoid! We had an informative guide, a friendly group and a lovely location. The meal we cooked together, using all natural ingredients and our foraged food, was very tasty.

Fabulous Day
Both my wife and I had a thoroughly enjoyable day Wild Foraging. Led by Kristopher , who brought so much enthusiasm and knowledge, we learned so much and came away with a new found appreciation of the countryside around. The meal at the end of the day was amazing with Kris bringing all his skills to the fore. I would certainly recommend this experience to anyone and thank you once again Kris for making it a day to remember.

Foraging Experience
This was a gift from my son and we set off curious to see what we would learn. Jemima who hosted the day for Totally Wild was very knowledgeable. It was a delight to spend the day in the beautiful, peaceful woodland area and I learnt so much about how to collect and use plants. Definitely given me the confidence to try out some of my learning!

Brilliant day out.
Not expecting to find mushrooms as too early in the season but who knew there was so much else we could use that we had previously dug up in the garden and thrown out as weeds. Kristopher our Guide was amazing full of energy and knowledge with excellent people skills. The group cooking session at the end was a great end to a very interesting day, which we will book again.

Fabulous
An excellent day all round. So much knowledge was passed on by our forager. The experience was very enjoyable and we came away with some inspiring ideas to put in to practice. The only negative was the difficulty booking the experience originally, using our gift voucher. Lots of e mails to enable us to actually book it. We ended up having to ask the Totally Wild company to book it for us. ...after going round in circles on the website. Otherwise, a wonderful experience.

The food that we foraged and cooked was delicious and the whole event had a great vibe. We've been inspired to work some nettles and wild garlic into a meal we're cooking for the folks next week :)

Surprising
Great experience. Surprising to find so much edible material within such a short distance, much of which we can source where we live - in some cases even from our own garden. Our guide was great, very friendly & knowlegable. At the end of the day we prepared a delicious meal from the foraged material. Very enjoyable day.
