Forage for Wild Food Along the Coast

What if the ocean was hiding an entire pantry of delicious ingredients right beneath your feet? Join Veld & Sea for a wildly delicious adventure along Cape Town's coastline, where rock pools become your classroom and the ocean reveals its edible treasures. Learn to identify seaweeds, discover the fascinating world of mussels and other marine life, and explore the ancient practice of gathering food from nature. Then head back to their beautiful Cape Point headquarters to transform wild ingredients into something extraordinary. Part coastal adventure, part cooking lesson and part unforgettable feast.

BEFORE YOU GO
These seasonal experiences follow the tides, with coastal foraging workshops generally scheduled around spring low tides. Expect approximately five hours of exploring rock pools, learning sustainable harvesting techniques, cooking demonstrations and enjoying a meal inspired by wild ingredients. Wear shoes suitable for wet, slippery rocks, bring sunscreen, a hat and a warm jacket. A recreational mollusc permit may be required if you'll be collecting shellfish, so check the event instructions carefully. Booking is essential, and dietary requirements should be communicated in advance.
