Puck's Plenty cators to restaurants, markets and individuals in and around the Stratford and Kitchener areas. We specialize in freshly harvested wild edibles. Depending upon the season, we offer a range of plants and mushrooms from wild leeks and fiddleheads to oyster mushrooms, puffballs and shiitakes. At the same time we run foraging expeditions mostly across the beautiful Avon Trail and, at times, Hullet Marsh.

***Please see our Photo page for plant identification.***

Our foraging outings are geared to groups or individuals, available throughout the weekdays and weekends until the first frost. The rates for hands-on instruction and discovery is $30/person. To set up an adventure please query us at pucksplenty@bell.net

Additionally, if you or your organization requires speakers on the subject of wild edibles or foraging we would be happy to appear.

Afterall, eating foods that grow wild and learning to identify, harvest and prepare them opens us up to connecting to the environment in a novel way. The drive to get close enough to Nature . . . . close enough to taste it.

Let it snow, let it snow.
Who cares?

Frigid weather has set in but failed to put the Velvet Foot mushroom into cold storage (see photo below). On any given winter's day when the sun breaks through the clouds, these fungi are thawed, made harvestable and ready to cook.

Sweet tasting and quite delicious, they produce a lovely juice while sautéed that can be made into a rich sauce or gravy.
