This 4-hour hands-on workshop is designed for our guests who have experience with wild harvesting and would like to discover new edibles or just touch-up on existing knowledge. This is a hands-on workshop so please don’t forget your basket and a mushroom knife. On this tour, the guest will explore the forests of the Laurentians with one of our experienced guides for 3 hours and then finish at the outdoor kitchen for the final hour where we will process and taste the day’s harvest together. 

Objectives: 

The guest will be taught how to identify, sustainably harvest and process up to 100 wild edible and medicinal plants and mushrooms such as wood sorrel, nettle, burdock, vervain, bedstraw, purslane and multiple mushrooms depending on the season (fall is peak mushroom time).

Level Required:

All Levels.

Course Language: 

The teacher will be giving the course in french and will be able to translate the difficult parts. However, if you need full-time translation, thank you for noticing us. We cannot promise it, but if several students need it, we’ll arrange something.

The price includes a camping spot (an 8’x10′ platform) for the Friday and Saturday nights. Please bring your own camping gear.
