Welcome to Wicklow Wild Foods.

Foraging is more than simply a way of finding free food.
Foraging is a doorway back to nature, a taste of the life our ancestors lived, connected to all that is living around us, to the coming and going of the seasons.

Foraged foods contribute to good health, every one has medicinal benefits. Food that has grown without chemicals, artificial fertilisers, in season, provides us with lots of nutrition. Foraging in nature contributes to well-being, as we become more aware of the living world around us, we become naturally mindful as we walk in nature.

Wild Food Foraging Walks

A walk with an experienced forager is an excellent way to get to know plants in each season, to touch, smell, taste, see plants growing in their own habitat is a lot easier than learning from books or online. No matter what your level of experience, there is always more to learn. That is one of the great joys of foraging.

Wild Food Special Events

We hold special events over the year, full day and weekend, foraging and learning about processing different wild foods, sometimes collaborating with nutritionists, herbalists, massage therapists and more to give an extra special, memorable experience. Once covid restrictions are eased we look forward to hosting these events again.
