Wild Food Sweden
Under the guidance of an experienced foraging guide, we will spend a week on foot and by canoe, searching for wild edible plants and mushrooms in the Scandinavian wilderness. Together, we will discover surprising flavors and exchange experiences around the campfire. Camping in the middle of old forests, enjoying a refreshing swim in a lake or relaxing sauna and eating what nature offers us: the perfect opportunity to go completely back to basics. Sweden is the ultimate foraging country, deeply rooted in the local culture and boasting an extensive and longstanding tradition of foraging.
A diverse trip where we hike, canoe, forage and camp in the wild. Join us on a trip of a lifetime!
