Wild edible plants & outdoor food course

Nettles, violets, meadowsweet and fir shoots. In the past, the forest was the people's important pantry where they picked plants, herbs and berries for both food and medicine, a knowledge that today has unfortunately fallen into oblivion. Lots of nutrients, vitamins and minerals are stored in various plants in our immediate vicinity, available to anyone who has the knowledge of these. 

During this course you will learn to recognize the most common edible wild plants in our environment, their beneficial properties and history. Many of what we call weeds today were used extensively in the past in both food and medicine. During the course you will gain more knowledge about edible weeds and their important properties through the ages. 

In addition to the knowledge of edibles in nature, participants will also learn different cooking techniques over an open fire. Join us on a tour where we reclaim the knowledge of sustainable wild food in the forest! 

More about the course

Spring introduces an enchanting time, where greenery and flowers start to adorn nature.

During the Wild Edibles course, we will pick tasty ingredients from nature, taste leaves, herbs and flowers and get to know the wild and the good. During the second part of the course and when the baskets are full of greens, we light a fire in our outdoor cooking camp to prepare an exciting meal with our harvest. A forest pesto, a fragrant forest tea or maybe a nettle bread? Only your imagination sets the limits, the ingredients are behind the crest.
