TESTIMONIALS
"Fern, I just wanted to let you know how wonderful my time away at your foraging retreat has been. I wasn't really sure what to expect and felt a bit nervous about coming on my own, but I've had the most amazing time. Thank you for making me feel so welcome, for the incredible food and for sharing all your knowledge with us!"
- Emma P
One of the best experiences I've ever had in the great outdoors! I've always been someone to learn in a real environment and Fern was amazing in her passion and delivery of so much information as we wandered through the woodland and fields.
From the moment we met our fellow foragers there was a positive and welcoming vibe with the food at the end possibly the best I've ever eaten! Viva la foraging!
