Book a Private Foraging Walk

Guided foraging walks introduce you to the bounty of wild plants and fungi growing regionally in the Catskills. Walks will be responsive to the season and location, so each walk will be unique! You can expect to learn to identify some native and non-native plants and fungi, as well as learn about traditional uses in food, crafts and herbalism. We’ll also learn about safety and integrity while interacting with wild plants and fungi. Tastings, mocktails cocktails or even full private meals are an option if you want to make your experience even more immersive. 

Walks can be scheduled from 90 minutes to three hours.  Pricing varies based on the time of the walk and the intended location, and what you want to learn.  I’m happy to provide a quote for your group! You can get started by filling out the brief form and I'll set up a phone chat to start tailoring an offering for you.
