COOK THE WILD
A Foraging Feast in Nature's Glow
Step off the grid and into the wild with COOK THE WILD, an unforgettable experience. Forage for fresh, wild ingredients from the land, then gather by the stream to cook a delicious meal under the open sky—surrounded by forest, glow worms, and good company.
Set in a secluded, stunning location far from light pollution and Wi-Fi signals. Here adventure meets tranquility. As dusk settles, the forest comes alive with the gentle twinkling of glow worms and the soothing sounds of the night. This is your chance to reconnect with nature, unwind, and rediscover the simple joys of fire, food, and friendship.
Leave your worries behind. Come get your hands dirty, share stories around the fire, and let the wilderness feed you - body and soul.
