What our customers say:

Private Guided Foray

“Her professionalism and warm demeanor created an environment where we all felt comfortable and engaged. Thanks to her expert guidance, what could have been an ordinary walk in the woods became a day filled with learning, discovery, and a deeper appreciation for the landscape around us. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to build their skills and confidence in foraging.”

Foraging Walk

“Jess was so prepared, she picked spots for us to explore and was able to point out and identify lots of different things along the way. She had field guides and resources to look at, cards with photos and descriptions of what we might find, and extra bags and baskets for our journey. It was clear she put a lot of thought into this event, and made sure to be prepared for the class!”

Mushroom Walk

“Foraging with Jess was an outstanding experience. Her depth of knowledge about morels, other mushrooms, wild edibles, and the surrounding ecosystem was impressive and clearly built on years of study and practice. She shared information in a way that was approachable and easy to understand, always taking time to answer questions thoughtfully and thoroughly.”
