Hike up rugged mountain creeks and hollers, climbing over hulks of ancient hemlocks in search of the most prized medicinal mushroom in the world. Tour runs from May 1st-June 15th with limited availabilities.
Discover your yarden, the wild edibles growing just outside your door. You’ll meet over a dozen wild foods: greens, berries, mushrooms, and more. You’ll receive a list of your edibles and a “treasure map” showing where to find them. We’ll talk about harvesting and preparation, similar-looking species, medicinal uses, and more.
This is a private version of either our Foraging Tour or Wild Food Stroll, which we can customize for your group. Please request a tour and we will confirm within 48 hours.
