Sadly, all Forage events have been cancelled for the foreseeable future. Keep tuning in to see if there’s any change. Thank you for your support.
This is a foraging walk around the Ecos Park in Ballymena, on the lookout for spring greens and other edibles. Leaves are at their best, so we will find nettles, garlic, cow parsley and loads of other stuff. If the weather is OK, we’ll have a go at making nettle soup. Free event, with Mid and East Antrim Council. Meet in the Ecos car park.
Sunday 5th April 2020
Broughgammon Farm, Ballycastle, Co. Antrim, 10.30 – 1
Join Becky from Broughgammon and Dermot from Forage Ireland for a foraging walk around the farm to discuss the culinary and medicinal uses for spring greens. There will be plenty to talk about for sure. Finish off with some nettle tea and pesto making.
