NeilForaging and Wild Foods CourseI recently went on the woodland foraging course run by Richard and Amy. They are clearly subject matter experts and were happy to answer any questions put to them. It was a lovely experience and would not hesitate to recommend the course to anyone that has a love of the outdoors and a desire to enjoy their surroundings. I thought both Richard and Amy were fantastic host's with good humour and passion for their work and the natural world. As an addendum I find myself looking in hedgerows a lot! Is this a good thing? I think so.
RichardPrivate Foraging CourseHad a fantastic day 16/08/21 with Richard and Amy on a private coastal foraging course, the whole experience from booking to confirming final details and the actual course delivery was faultless, you could tell that both Richard and Amy truly love being in the outdoors and the way they passed on their knowledge was spot on, I certainly felt that this course gave me the ground work to be able to carry on and learn lots more of what the coast can offer, thank you both for a fantastic day.
ChrisForaging and Wild Foods CourseI attended the Foraging and Wild Foods course in April 2023. I hadn't know what to expect and found the whole afternoon wonderful. It was a lovely and accessable walk, I learnt so much, Richard is an engaging teacher and he and Amy are so passionate about the woodland. They have such a great sense of humour. I found myself smiling and laughing a lot as I enjoyed the journey. I can't wait to try cooking with things I have foraged; wood ear soaked in rum dipped in chocolate sounded great!!! I also love that Richard pointed out things like his favourite hill in the forest, amazing!! It's left me wanting to learn more and I'm forever looking around for things to forage on my walks and I'm appreciating the world around me so much more. I'm currently on a mission to find a pignut but no joy yet. Thank you so much Richard and Amy for a fantastic time. I hope to join other courses you offer in the future.
MarkForaging and Wild Foods CourseThe foraging course just outside Ruthin was brilliant. Richard and Amy are really friendly, extremely knowledgeable and the 4 hours passes by in a flash. The landscape is beautiful and who wouldn't like eating wild garlic and beech leaves in a field!!
StephenCoastal Foraging CourseWe just done a 2 hour coastal foraging course which I recieved as a Christmas gift for my partner and I, we have done small amounts of foraging before and this course was very informative and a lot of fun. Richard and Amy have a wealth of knowledge and no question went unanswered. They have an ability to keep novice and experienced foragers engaged within the same group which was great for us who are on the novice side. We will definitely be booking a couple of other courses and would highly recommend to anyone thinking of giving it a go. Thanks a million guys and see yous again soon
JacquelineForaging and Wild Foods CourseFantastic course. My son and I learned a lot and have allready been driving my daughter and husband mad when out, pointing out all the things we learned.
RachelCoastal Foraging CourseFantastic introductory coastal foraging course. Very engaging, informative and everyone gets hands on experience, finished off with a beach cook-up of our finds. Would highly recommend, I’ve booked a woodland foraging course with them following this.
MartinCoastal Foraging CourseWhat an amazing day spent with Richard and Amy on the woodland foraging course, both so knowlegable and eager to pass on. Learned so much and cannot wait to incorporate this into our diet. So good we've already booked on the Seashore foraging course in October!
AlanCoastal Foraging CourseJust a wonderful afternoon learning about foraging with Richard and Amy. Knowledgeable and plenty of great anecdotes. Highly recommended- as a marine forager it was good to learn more on the Woodside! Will defo try the whiskey recipe.
