FAQs

How long is the course?

At the Wild Bites tier the course lasts 12 months, from whichever month you sign up. You can watch the video lectures at your own pace during this time, coupling this with making time to get outdoors and practise your new skills.

At the Wild Feast and Wild Banquet tiers you have lifetime access to the course content so can take as long as you want to complete it and refer back to it whenever you need to.

Do I have to start with Wild Bites and work through to the Wild Banquet tier?

No, not at all. The different tiers of the course shown here, are all taught at the same level. Choose whichever one fits your level of interest or budget. The different tiers (and their prices) simply reflect the amount of content and pier support you get at each tier. You can always upgrade later if you get the foraging bug.

What extras do I get in the Wild Banquet tier of the course?

At the top tier you get our Special Workshop Series which includes 11 video workshops including; Tree Foraging, Eat Your Weeds, Easy Campfire Cooking, Poisonous Plants Every Forager Should Know and Coastal Foraging. You will also get access to 20 bonus videos which cover more wild foods not featured in our monthly workshops. Full a full list of the Special Workshop Series and Bonus Videos, follow this link.

On top of that, you will also be given a free ticket to any of our future wild food live workshops (online). Lastly, you get a whole extra course thrown in The Complete Tree ID Course. More on that below. It's the full package!
