Foraging around Court Farm

Located in an ideal environment for a foraging course in Cornwall, your group will be taken on a foraging excursion around Court Farm, where you will explore many different environments – including hedgerow, pasture and woodland. You will learn about the whole wild food larder dealing with herbs, roots, shoots, berries, flowers, nuts and fungus. At the end of the foraging course, you should be able to easily identify a minimum of 15 edible plants that you will be able to forage in your own time.

Lunch 

You will then be welcomed into our cookery school kitchen to dine around our big table and enjoy a delicious lunch. You will also have the chance to ask Emma any further questions you have about wild food and foraging.
