Mother's Day Foraging Event
May 12th, 11 am

Join us for a beautiful trek through the woods and fields of Perth County as we search and collect such edibles as fiddleheads, wild leeks, wild ginger, nettles and more. The cost is $30 per person, children under 15 years, free. For more information telephone (519) 271-3726 or email us at pucksplenty@bell.net

Individual and group foraging outings are now available most weekends throughout the season. For more information or to schedule an event please phone 519-271-3726 or email us at pucksplenty@bell.net.

Our foraging expeditions take place across beautiful trails such as The Thames River Valley Trail and Hullet Marsh. Our purpose is to educate participants on identifying wild edibles and mushrooms, prudent harvesting and, in the end, appreciating their wonderful taste and health benefits.

***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.
