You CAN make money doing what you love!
This will be a certificate course, in person. We will go over ethical and sustainable foraging of wild "invasives" and common Weedy plants, no mushrooms because that falls under the Wild Mushroom Safety Certification Course.
You can be a total beginner to foraging to take this course or experienced folks will take it to the next level.
I have over 30 plants on the list for the southeast!!
This includes how to turn these raw plants into value added products to sell or you can sell the raw products at markets, in csa baskets or to chefs.
A 2-Day Immersive Workshop for Foragers & Homesteaders
You already grow it. You already harvest it. Now it’s time to turn it into something that lasts—and sells.
Mastering the Wild is a hands-on, in-person workshop designed for foragers, homesteaders, and small-scale growers who want to transform what they harvest from the land into value-added products for market.
Over two full days, you’ll learn how to move from raw abundance to finished goods—ethically, legally, and profitably—without losing the heart of why you started.
9:00am until 4:00pm each day, we will discuss and practice the following:
what and where to forage
proper identification
harvesting techniques
preparation or sale of raw product
value-added products - salves, lip balms, dried herbal blends, seasonings, jams etc...
field study
hands on preparations and tastings
business legalities, permits, licensing
Who This Is For:
Foragers
Homesteaders
Gardeners & small farmers
Herbalists & makers
Anyone seeking to build income from land-based skills
No prior business experience required.
You’ll leave with more than ideas—you’ll leave with clarity, confidence, and a path forward.
After the course, you will receive an online exam link to take for documentation and receive your certificate. This is NOT A LICENSE just a certificate of completion of the Mastering The Wild Forager's Course.
What to bring each day:
notebook and plant/flower identification guide
basket
knife and small clipper/hand pruners
small paper bags
insect repellent if needed
wear long pants and hiking shoes, bring change of clothes if desired for when we are not out in the field.
