Forage & Feast
A Guided Harvest, Then a Feast to Match
Forage & Feast connects you directly to your food. Offered exclusively for your group, join us for a guided harvest through our kitchen gardens, gathering fresh, seasonal ingredients straight from the source — then relax at the table as we transform your pickings into a beautiful, multi-course meal, just for you.
This is a gentler, more contemplative kind of gathering — time in the gardens learning what's growing and why, followed by a long, unhurried feast celebrating everything you've just gathered. No cooking required on your part; simply forage, then sit back and enjoy, with the gardens and the table all to yourselves.
Perfect for groups of up to 24, Forage & Feast suits celebrations, retreats and gatherings where you want a genuine, private connection to the land, without the hands-on cooking of a class.
Prefer to watch it all come together in the kitchen too? Explore The Cook's Long Lunch for a guided harvest with a cooking demonstration included.
