FAQs

How strenuous are the tours?
This is not a hike. We cover less than half a mile on mostly level ground, stopping frequently.

The stroll takes place at an in-town resort, lasts half as long, and does not include actual foraging, a cooking demo/tasting, or more than one restaurant option.

Does the tour include a meal?
No. The tour includes a small tasting and an appetizer featuring your finds with lunch or dinner at a local restaurant.

Do we always find mushrooms?
No, but there are also edible wild fruits, nuts, greens, and more.

Do we spend all our time in the woods?
No, especially in colder months, when there’s more wild food in sunny areas.
