🌿 Introducing The Wild Food Weekend 2026 🌿
This September, Forage Box is hosting something truly special — and there are only 12 places available.
Join me, Gav Ireland, and exceptional wild food chef Alex for an immersive weekend in the beautiful Herefordshire countryside. Two nights, three days, and more wild food than you've ever seen in one place.
You'll forage with me across the stunning local landscape, discovering what's growing, what's edible, and how to use it — then hand everything over to Alex, who'll transform your finds into food that will genuinely stop you in your tracks.
We're talking elderberry cured trout, stuffed pheasant with bramble beet and smoked whiskey jus, crab linguine coastal style, wild harissa venison kebab, and a Saturday night dessert finished with an ember straight from the fire.
And that's just scratching the surface.
This isn't a foraging course with a packed lunch. This is a full wild food experience — expert tuition, extraordinary food, and a small group of like-minded people in a stunning private venue.
📅 Friday 18th – Sunday 20th September 2026
📍 Near Hereford, Herefordshire
👥 12 places only
💰 From £645 — secure your place with just a £99 deposit
Three ticket tiers available — Standard, Premium, and Elite — each with different room and experience options.
This will sell out. If it's calling to you, don't wait.

Since November last year, 4 fatalities, 3 liver transplants, and over 30 cases of poisonings from death cap mushrooms in California.
This has led to “authorities” recommending avoiding foraging!
Instead of this nanny state, authoritarianism, how about encouraging people to learn to forage safely?
What do you think, discourage foraging or encourage learning safe foraging?

If you’ve ever tried to confirm a plant or fungus later and thought “why did I take such useless photos”… welcome to the club.
Mission for this week: take 4 photos every time, even if you think you already know it.

What is it, exactly? (not “a mushroom” or “a green leaf”, the actual thing)
What’s the worst lookalike? (the one that bites people)
What would confirm it? (one feature you can check, not vibes)
If you can’t answer all three, you’re not ready to eat it yet. That’s not you failing. That’s you being safe.

January’s job is simple: ID confidence.
Not “I saw a reel and I reckon it’s fine.” Not “it looks like the photo.” Proper confidence. The kind where you can explain why it’s safe, not just hope.
So this month I’m sending you 4 quick field missions. Each one takes about 10 minutes, and each one builds the same thing: a repeatable way to check what you’ve found.
This month’s missions
1. The 3 question ID filter
2. The photo protocol (so you can actually confirm later)
3. The lookalike drill (the bit most people skip)
4. Build your personal safe list of 5
If you want the full step by step system, it’s all going out to my email subscribers. Sign up at www.foundfood.com

Ready for a martini you’ve never tasted before? In this video, I show you how to make a Dirty Dandelion Martini; my wild, foraged spin on the classic dirty martini.

We swap out olive brine for homemade dandelion caper brine and finish with dandelion leaf bitters for a bold, earthy kick. If you’re into wild food, botanical cocktails, or just want to try something totally new, this drink is for you.
