Ready to go WILD? Experience what brings millions to Asheville every year — the beauty of the the Blue Ridge Mountains and the vibrant food scene — with our unique forage-to-table tours.
We’ve been taking people “out to eat” for nearly twenty-five years. Led by expert guides, you’ll meet at least a dozen wild edibles, including ones you might find in your own backyard: greens, berries, mushrooms, flowers, roots, nuts… we never know what we might find! We’ll gather a few and cook some up for a tasting. You can take the rest home and/or to one of Asheville’s top restaurants, where they’ll transform it into a wild appetizer, with lunch or dinner, for free.
For a truly unique, 100% Asheville experience, join us off the eaten path. Tours average ten participants and are family-friendly and suitable for all ages and abilities. Our introductory e-book is included, all equipment is provided, and your satisfaction is guaranteed. Discover how fun, safe, easy and delicious foraging can be!

Our Guides
Our guides are all experts in the field, including a former forager for over 75 restaurants, a naturopathic doctor, a board member of the North American Fruit Explorers, and an ethnobotanist with a master’s in Appalachian studies. For them, foraging is a way of life. With passion and precision, they make foraging safe and fun.
Becky is an encyclopedia of knowledge and our group had a great time, especially the kids! They were made to feel very included and Becky answered all questions very patiently.
“Outdoor Dining at its Finest,” TripAdvisor
Our guide Dimitri was a charm – fully knowledgeable, a caring teacher, funny, careful and a good singer – what could be better.
“We had a wonderful adventure from morning to night,” TripAdvisor
Jillian was as knowledgeable as she was accommodating to our rambunctious 4 year old. She even got him to try some wood sorrel which is incredible since he’s such a fussy eater.
“One of best adventures we’ve had in the entire country,” TripAdvisor
Justin was informative, engaged, and obviously very passionate and knowledgeable, which in turn made us more excited.
“A great way to reframe how you experience nature,” TripAdvisor
