The On The Rocks Workshops are a 4-Hour In-Depth Exploration where you will immerse yourself in the wonders of seaweed.
Attendees leave with much knowledge, resources, and confidence to incorporate wild seaweeds into their diet. It is consistently encouraging to get fantastic feedback about how it has revolutionised people's ideas about the tastiness and accessibility of this incredible resource.
Autumn coastal harvest. Seaweed enthusiasts and foragers eagerly anticipate this season. The coast offers its unique charm, as many species are at their very tastiest.
The allure lies in the principle of "less is more." As the vibrant abundance of summer subsides, the focus shifts to a select variety of hardy winter seaweeds that thrive in cooling water conditions.
Stormy weather and dwindling daylight hours create an ideal environment for these resilient species to flourish, marking a captivating transition in the underwater landscape.
To culminate our extensive intertidal exploration, enjoy a tasty dinner cooked on the shore with wild fresh ingredients. You will leave with the confidence to start your own seaweed-gathering practice.

Highly recommended and I now feel confident to give seaweed foraging try myself . “I'm writing this with a big smile.

Practical details from a wealth of experience were valuable. What I wanted was practical information and got it. I feel much better equiped to go forth happily with confidence, hard hat and holes in my old wellies and also to enjoy eating what I've gathered.

“I've led climbing and mountaineering groups and I've always foraged. With that in mind, what came across in the workshop was the considered and carefully constructed content and Jayson's knowledge, passion and experience, his care for the well-being of both his clients and the environment.”
