A gorgeous and accessible family foraging guide from The Grizzly Forager



Nature can calm, soothe, and excite all at the same time. It can show us – however big or small we are – a place to be free, curious, and connect to a far greater whole. On top of all of this, nature can give us an abundance of delicious, free food! Foraging is the key to unlocking these connections, an opportunity for us and our children to get out there, to explore, and open our eyes to all of nature's wonders.


Foraging with family or friends is an amazing thing that any of us have access to, and with just a few simple rules in place, you could be living that picture perfect daydream of filling baskets with juicy berries, piles of mushrooms, and a glorious variety of edible flowers and plants, with the sun on your back or crunchy leaves underfoot.


This book is about to unlock that world of nature, fun, magic, fairytales and, most importantly, a treasure trove of wild food. Grab your basket (or bag for life). And kids, grab your wellies and coat – we're going on an adventure. I'm going to show you how to forage – I'll teach you everything you need to know, from one parent to another. Every journey starts with a small first step, so let's take yours together.
