18 Foraging & Wild Food courses

forage box

Here at Forage Box, we love our wild food. We believe that wild and foraged food is tastier, healthier and better for the planet than food bought in the supermarket. Plus, time spent foraging is great for your mental and physical health... and it’s good fun too! Our mission is to reconnect people with nature through what they eat, whether that is treating themselves to one of our small-batch products, enjoying a meal made from freshly-picked, wild produce or getting out there themselves on one of our foraging workshops. Our motto: Always Wild, Always Sustainable, Always Delicious is something we stand by and we want foraging to be recognised as a better way of sourcing our food. Get in touch to find out about a private foraging workshop for you and your friends. Alternatively, head to our website to find all live public workshop dates, which take place across England and Wales.

amy rankine forager

I am a foraging instructor leading wild food walks and workshops for the past 8 years in the central belt. Through walks, courses and workshops I’m able to help people build skills in identification, beginning their foraging journey. My aim is to use wild food as a platform to help restore our connection with food at its source, through immersion in nature. As more of us return to forging, sustainable practice is at the core of what I do, and an integral part of a mornings’s adventure. As well as identification centred excursions I enjoy delivering workshops and exploring a variety of avenues to incorporate wild food in everyday life.

healing weeds

I want to share how easy it is to find and use plants growing around us and give you a way to interact with your surroundings. For me, foraging and herbalism have taught me to notice the world as I move through it and allow my busy mind to slow down. I also get really excited thinking about how these wild foods and medicines are so high in nutrients, vitamins and an essence of vitality that doesn’t exist in our supermarket food. I’m keen to share this all with you, get in touch or book on to a walk or workshop to start learning!

jack raven bushcraft ltd

Founded in 2011, Jack Raven Bushcraft courses take place in beautiful Westwell, Kent, UK, just 50 miles from the centre of London with easy access by both rail and road. We have access to around 60 or so acres of stunning ancient broadleaf woodland in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.  Our courses in bushcraft, ancestral skills and wilderness living are perfect for anyone who wants to learn new outdoor skills, foraging, herbal remedies, traditional woodland crafts, corporate team building activities or simply having fun with nature. You don’t need any previous outdoor experience to take part in one of our bushcraft courses, or indeed any of our other courses, and the training sessions are entirely hands on so that you leave Jack Raven Bushcraft with simple, practical and repeatable skills.  Not only will you learn valuable bushcraft, survival and outdoor skills, but we’re certain that you’ll have a lot of fun along the way!  Our ancestral skills and bushcraft courses take place in a private woodland with no public access at an expedition style camp on the North Downs, complete with a yurt and wood burning stove, a parachute, a kitchen area, work benches and a composting toilet.  We have areas where you can pitch a hammock, tarp or small tent, cleared of standing and hanging dead wood, or you can camp on a nearby working farm campsite.  It’s the perfect environment for training in wilderness survival skills and taking part in our unbeatable bushcraft courses. Our bushcraft experience courses in Kent offer a wide range of organised outdoor tasks and team building activities covering wilderness living skills, woodlore, camp craft, tracking, earth skills, carving, and wild food and foraging courses as well as a wide range of traditional craft courses.   Our bushcraft and wilderness survival courses vary in duration, some take a day and are more specialised or you can join us for a bushcraft weekend.  For those who would like a truly immersive experience, we offer 5 day bushcraft courses – here you can learn all of the principles and skills needed to get by in the wild.   We place a strong emphasis on natural history, woodland management and conservation throughout all of our teachings as we believe that this knowledge should inform everything we do in bushcraft, both in the UK and abroad.
