Vom Unternehmen geschrieben

Foraging and Wild Food Workshops. Wild Gifts. Foraged Ingredients. We believe that wild and foraged food is tastier, healthier and better for the planet than food bought in the supermarket. Plus, time spent foraging is great for your mental and physical health... and it’s good fun too! Our mission is to reconnect people with nature through what they eat, whether that is treating themselves to one of our small-batch products, enjoying a meal made from freshly-picked, wild produce or getting out there themselves on one of our foraging workshops. Our motto: 'Always Wild, Always Sustainable, Always Delicious' is something we stand by and we want foraging to be recognised as a better way of sourcing our food.

From Woods to Plate: A Perfect Day!

We had an absolutely fantastic time with Forage Box. The day struck the perfect balance between being educational and genuinely fun, something that is not easy to get right. We have been on many days out in similar settings before, but this one really stood out as the best so far.

The passion and depth of knowledge were clear from the start, and it was a breath of fresh air to see someone who is not only so passionate about what they do but also truly accomplished at it. Every plant, every detail was shared with care and enthusiasm.

The little bite of wild food we were given at the end was so delicious that it left us wanting more. We have already booked a spot at the wild dinner event and we genuinely cannot wait.

Highly recommended for anyone curious about wild food, nature, or simply looking for a thoughtful and enriching day out.

I'll give it a star because it's the lowest but I would give it 0 stars. Appalling customer care. I bought a course but due to personal circumstances I was not able to attend. This 30 day refund policy is out of all proportion and on top of that, there is not way to contact them. They just don't reply. I went to their FB page to write a message and nothing. The emails are all noreply and there is no way to contact them. They've now sent an email cancelling this event and are offering a refund but there is no way to activate this refund. I've sent a message requesting this refund an I am unsure if they will ever reply. I've just made a big note not to ever buy a course from them and will discourage anyone I know who might.

Hello Florencia, I can assure you that we did receive all of your slightly abusive and anger-fuelled messages over the last 24 hours. Sorry for not replying sooner - your tone and anger didn't prompt me to reply instantly on my rare Saturday off, and thought it best that there was a cooling off period but you've coaxed me into replying on my one Sunday off this month instead. I would kindly ask that all of your future communication with us is a little more respectful please.

I'm not sure where you've been sending your other emails, but we do not have a 'no reply' email address. I'll be replying to one of your many emails shortly. You've said "there is no way to contact them" but by your own admission and actions, you've contacted us via Facebook, email and our website's contact form. One could also opt for Instagram to complete the set.

Our 30 day refund policy is very clear at the point of buying tickets and is perfectly reasonable, not to mention an industry standard. We pay our tutors per ticket sold, plus they spend a lot of time preparing food for their events, so a last-minute cancellation (as your request was - literally the day before your chosen event) would be grossly unfair on them. Whilst you have left us a pretty unfair and clearly angry public review, you did agree to the very clear booking terms when buying your tickets.

If you had bought a ticket to a different live event, concert or gig, there is absolutely no way you would expect a refund if you made the same request the day before. To expect one from a tiny company by comparison is pretty unreasonable and exactly why we have a very clear cancellation policy displayed on the event listing, our website and at the checkout - whether someone chooses to read it is not our responsibility.

I will ensure that your refund is processed accordingly. I would also kindly ask that, should you maybe show some introspection and graciousness, that you offer me a private apology via email (or any other form of contacting the business) for the incredibly rude, aggressive and unfair way you have dealt with your complaint.

Finally, you are more than welcome to join us again and would love to invite you along with anyone you know who might wish to join one of our amazing workshops in the future. Foraging is amazing for the planet, the palate and our health - it's a lovely calming activity to do and I find it puts me more at peace with the world when I'm feeling tense, angry or stressed.

Regards,

Jim

Jim Forager!

Jim, our expert, was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his craft. It was a very informative afternoon which I greatly enjoyed. The wild snack at the end was surprisingly tasty!!! Many thanks.

Really enjoyable experience

Really enjoyable experience. Our host made sure everyone was engaged where they wanted to be and was really personable, answered everyone's question and included some really interesting personal anecdotes. We felt like we were in safe hands and we were very glad to be foraging around the Basecamp North Lakes as the day turned out very hot and sunny so easy access to the water stop and other facilities definitely made it a more comfortable event. Will definitely book for another workshop, they're great gifts as group activities. Thanks Jim!

Appalling Customer Service

Appalling customer service. We booked this for our family because our daughter has a strong interest in foraging, and is having mental health issues. This week, she sadly attempted to take her own life. Thankfully she is ok, but obviously not up to foraging, yet.

We explained this when we asked if we could come on a later date (we didn’t ask for a refund). A Family “Emergency” is just that - an emergency. It’s not possible to know of a Family Emergency 30 days in advance.

So today, my husband and other daughter are going to go on the event, while I stay home to ensure her safety.

No empathy or compassion or understanding or even a remote show of flexibility shown by Forage Box whatsoever.

Antwort von Forage Box

Hello,

I am terribly sorry to hear about your daughter. That sounds like a horrendous ordeal so I hope that all involved are coping ok. It must be some comfort that things aren't so bad that you could take the time to provide this detailed and public review, so that's at least something to cling onto in these challenging circumstances. Foraging is indeed something we champion as a way of improving one's mental health and wellbeing, so it is lovely to hear that your daughter has a growing interest in it, which will hopefully help in the long-run.

Before I address your feedback, and speaking from personal experience, I would strongly urge you to reconsider detailing your daughter's episode in such a public forum, especially with your own surname attached to it. For her dignity's sake, I would suggest you remove, amend or anonymise your words. It is evident that you are frustrated, but for her sake I think a little discretion on this matter would certainly help her.

We pride ourselves on our personable customer service, our human-to-human interaction (e.g. no automated AI responses) and compassionate approach when dealing with bookings. However, it is not our job to distinguish between what one person's family emergency and another - we were not provided with any further details and instead have to therefore refer to our very clear and fair refund/transfer policy that was agreed to when making your booking. Your request was made less than 24 hours before your event booking and your tutor would already have prepared your food, not to mention them then having to take a hit on the fee for the event as they are paid per ticket sold. It is my least favourite part of this job, but we do have to take all parties' interest into consideration when making these difficult decisions. Just in the same way that a multi-millionaire musical artist or national train company would have a policy they stick to were you unable to use your ticket with them, we have to draw a line somewhere.

We do sometimes offer a more flexible solution if an appeal has been made with a kind and polite explanation, but I'm afraid that is rarely the case when a public lashing out has been issued, especially one which perhaps might be considered unreasonable or unfair once the initial frustration of the unfolding scenario has had a chance to calm down.

I am glad to hear that your husband and other daughter made it to our workshop. No doubt they had a wonderful time and that this poor review is no reflection on that front.

Finally, I sincerely hope that your daughter finds solace. Mental health struggles can be ghastly, lonely experiences and she will need all the support she can get from her closest loved ones. Sending my best wishes for her long- and short-term recovery.

All the best,

Jim

Foraging Folkestone, Edi was brilliant

I took part in a foraging taster today in Folkestone with Edi, I had a great time, Edi's knowledge was brilliant, he was friendly and welcoming and made everyone feel comfortable and welcome, he really brought foraging to life. Would definitely do another. Thank you

Newfound appreciation of countryside

Very interesting and knowledgeable guide. Jim's overlap of experience with foraging and cooking made this a very rewarding experience. I'd really recommend it and plan to attend a future workshop in a different season.

Wasted my Bank Holiday and 4h

I bought a 2 hours taster foraging, emailed a few days early to check meeting point, didn’t get a reply. Received an email the day before that went in my spam, informing me the event had been cancelled. No what’s app or call to ensure I had received this last minute message.i drove 2 hours to get there, only to see the event cancelled on Eventbrite website when I arrived. A waste of a Bank holiday.

Hi Laure,

I'm sorry to hear that you felt your day was wasted. It is a tricky one because we do not collect the phone numbers of our guests so whatsapp is not possible, so we rely entirely on the emails we send out via Eventbrite - there's not much more we can do on that front but will take the feedback on board for the future. It is perhaps an irony of this whole situation that we cannot find any trace of an email thread from you (and we check our junk folders daily for this purpose) so perhaps you could send that over to us so we can double-check what might be going on?

All the best,

Jim

Try this, a great day out

Saw an ad for Forage Box and thought we would give it a try. So pleased we did as it was as great day out.
Jim really knows his stuff and passed some of his specialist knowledge across.
I have got to say that I did not think we would be eating hogweed and nettles for part of the lunch but the food was amazing.

Loved my foraging morning

Loved my foraging morning. We were in a beautiful location near Ambleside and found plenty of interesting plants in such a short time. Eleanor was friendly, informative and very engaging. I came away enthused, and wrote up some notes to help me remember all the information. I made two foraged salads the following week, mainly using wild sorrel. I've since made dandelion honey and nettle cordial.
I think it was really beneficial to only have 4 people on the workshop. Too many people would be detrimental to the experience. Maybe up to 8 would be fine.

My 2nd taster session with Forage Box

My 2nd taster session with Forage Box. Excellent again. Beautiful walk at Frodsham Hill Woods with Rachel leading the session. Friendly, knowledgeable & safe. So much information given on plants you walk past every day without noticing. Fabulous day out. Thankyou Rachel & Jim. 5* recommendation!

Jim is a wizard of wild food

I joined Jim and six other forages at Barrow Bridge in Bolton. Words cannot describe how rewarding and enjoyable this was. Jim brought the world of foraging and wild food to life. We were eating things within 30 seconds of leaving the car park. Best money I ever spent even ignoring the free food we found.

A memorable afternoon about with forage and nibble

We did the forage and nibble event in Sheffield only 15 minutes from where we live. How had I never seen these woods before? Our leader Joel was brilliant. He is so knowledgable and with enough science information for us to be reassured that we would be safe, but we weren’t overwhelmed by the science. The walk lasted three hours but the time went so quickly and we learned so much. This was an amazing experience and I can’t recommend it highly enough The snacks at the end were the icing on the cake - or the herb butter on the bread. Thanks

Beginner friendly fun and delicious!

Mike led our April tour for beginner foragers and showed us all about how to identify carrot family plants and common wild foods in spring in Stanmer Forest. Not only that but he gave us great examples of foods to cook. I’m not normally a big nature girly but I LOVED this! 100% worth the price, would recommend.
