- **Event Name**: Autumn Wild Food Foraging Wander 
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 29 Mar, 2026 at 02:00 am – Sun, 29 Mar, 2026 at 03:00 am (+11:00)
- **Event Description**: Free Food Foragers are celebrating the change of season cycle and return of the rains with an Autumn Wild Food Foraging Wander in the commons of Chewton to share with you all the amazing wild food growing right under your feet and in your backyard.

Feral foods or edible weeds are a fantastic sustainable food solution not to mention a free food source for all. Foraging is a great way to reduce your grocery bill, get fresh organic food and do some good for nature by removing invasive plants from habitats.

Aside from being a free, carbon footprint friendly food option, foraged foods also have a higher nutritional and often medicinal value compared to regular supermarket vegetables. Stinging Nettle for example has 4 times more iron than Spinach along with a higher density of calcium, protein and vitamins A &amp; C.

This educational walk is perfect for anyone wanting to learn about edible weeds and wild foods whether you're new to foraging or been carrying a basket around for a few seasons - you'll be sure to have a great time and learn some new uses for plants that you might never have known.

We will meet at Ellery Park for some herbal tea and wild food taste testers before we set out on a short walk with wild food in abundance.

Access is walking friendly for all abilities along a gravel path or grass. Please contact us for further accessibility arrangements if required.
Tickets = $20 Adults

Bring along a water bottle, basket, pen and notebook if desired. Photography and filming is welcomed - we love seeing things from your perspective - tag us in your shots @freefoodforagers.

We pride ourselves on being a family friendly activity &amp; are inclusive of all walks of life.

Dogs are permitted on lead if sociable.

In the event of extreme weather events we will reschedule, transfer your booking or refund depending on your preference.

But we are foragers, rain, hail or shine we are out in the bush! So pack an umbrella or sun hat depending on the weather and let's get out into nature.

We also acknowledge that we are gathering and respectfully harvesting on the ancestral lands of the Djarra people and pay respect to the generations of foragers and families that have cared for these lands before us, now and after us.

We step onto this land with the intention of caring for nature and removing introduced weeds to assist in management of the bush we all love and care for.

Please note I do not teach about native tucker as there are so many amazing knowledgeable Aunties and Elders in the local area who have far more knowledge about indigenous foods than us.
