Looking for a Foraging Course in York?
Join Wild Harvest School on this two and a half hour Wild Food Foraging walk in the beautiful city of York to learn about the wealth of edible plants that grow all around you.
Understand the benefits of learning to forage but most importantly discover the cautions. We give you a four step process to avoid identification error when learning to forage wild food. This walk will empower you to gather free food for life, future proof your family and enjoy super local and healthy ingredients. We also cover health benefits and medicinal properties.
After a comprehensive introduction at the starting point of the walk, we then embark on a gentle stroll along the River Ouse footpath where you will 'meet' the plants, get to have a nibble and learn how to best harvest and process them for optimum health benefits!

Affordable

We believe this education should be accessible and aim to price to cover our costs and pay our taxes but also be affordable to you. We are not grant funded though so please don't expect us to compete with free temporary initiatives using public money. Many of our own Teach Foraging students charge more than we do. Di's belief is that learning to forage should be affordable so our walks start from £21 p.p for a group booking.
