Our Wild Services
Wild food belongs to everyone! You don't need any prior knowledge – we'll walk by your side and gently guide you to nature's own treasures.
We believe the best way to learn is to step outside with your boots on. That's why our paths lead to the forests and meadows of Helsinki, where nature itself serves as the ultimate teacher!
We host scheduled excursions, lectures, and pop-up dinners that are open for individual registration. We also provide tailored services for companies, organizations, private groups, and friends—all our experiences can be customized to meet your specific needs.
Don't hesitate to get in touch! Let's create an unforgettable wild experience together or explore potential partnerships.
