Recent reviews of Foraging Hike and Wild Food Tasting Workshop
- 5/5 from Tara Strand, attended Sep 2026: This was a wonderful introductory class on native, edible plants and their uses. Charlie Ray was a fun host who treated us to a delicious spread to start us off, and made sure that the knowledge we were gaining was as ingrained as possible! The falls at the end of the hike are a huge treat too. Had a great time!
- 5/5 from Justin Yee, attended Sep 2026: Charli is very knowledgeable and can answer questions that deviate from the curriculum well too.
- 5/5 from Manuel Perez, attended May 2026: Beyond my expectations, not only did I learn about identifying plants. My favorite hiking location is so much different to me now. Realizing there is so much more to learn, a bit more I know, but best of all the new friends I made thank you so much for sharing chef…
- 5/5 from Ivan Perez, attended May 2026: It was an amazing class, what nature has to offer is incredible. Love it
