Foragers Feast 2024

Pumpkin pie, creamy mushroom pasta and soup, winter squash, teas, coffees, warm bread and butter...YUM! Welcome to the Foragers Feast. This will be an unforgetable event to celebrate the fall forest bounty and the coming together of good people. We will source 90+% of our ingredients for our feast from the Grow Wild forests and gardens. Drop into the mycelial network with a grounding meditation in the Burrow, get wet, dirty and fresh while knee deep in the ferns foraging for goodies to take home and share with your family. Return back to the Burrow to warm yourself around the bonfire, clean your bounty and enjoy warm snacks and tea.. Finish the afternoon off with a soak in the steamy waters of the wood fired hot tub. Stimulate your nervous system with optional cold plunges into the pond. Fill your belly with a feast from right under your feet, lovingly prepared by the Grow Wild Family. We can't wait to forage and feast with you.  

This event is open to all persons who can walk/hike,  unassisted for 2-3 hours on uneven forest ground. The land is steep in sections and this event will be going ahead rain or shine! Bring your rain gear it will most likely be wet! We will be foraging specifically for chanterelles (golden and white) cauliflower fungus, lobster mushrooms, oyster mushrooms and, if we’re lucky, the odd pine! 

DISCLAIMER- I am not a mushroom expert! I have never been to school to study mushrooms or fungus specifically. I have however studied plants for years and owned a plant specific business for 8 years. I have been foraging here since I could walk! This is NOT a lecture or identification class style workshop. We will discuss identification tools, look over samples before heading out,  share our knowledge and forage together in a safe and educated way. We will move together through the forest, practice safe and sustanible harvesting practices and share our experiences. We carry bear spray and remain in cell service. Please, if you have expertise to share come on out!
