Our Experience
A Day in Bali's Food Forest
Join your local guide Made as she leads you through a day of foraging, cooking, learning and connection. Learn techniques and knowledge passed down from 100 generations of Balinese people, and end the day with a feast you cook yourself with what you collected.
Forage Bali is a sister project of ForageSF, which has led wild food foraging adventures in San Francisco since 2008.
50% of your payment goes directly to the teacher leading the day.
“Balinese families have been reading this landscape for thousands of years. A day in the food forest is a window into all of it.”
Our Vision
We see a world where visitors and locals meet. Where the people who come here searching for something real find it, and the people who carry generations of knowledge have a place to share it.
That's the world we're building. One day at a time.
