For people who find their church in the woods

Redding Forager's Association is a faith-based private membership association. Our members are a close-knit fellowship of foragers who believe creation is a gift from God the Creator, entrusted to our care.

Membership is a responsibility, not a privilege. There's no fee to join. Members give 48 working hours a year (harvesting, processing, replanting and helping run events) and live by our Code of Integrity, Stewardship and Fellowship.

Members share in

• Members-only gatherings and seasonal meetings
• Shared harvests
• The places we don't take the public
• Mentorship from experienced foragers
• A voice in the association
• Free Trail Snack Walks

Plus every Steward perk, at no cost

Stewards pay $10 a month for these. Members get them free:

• Priority Access to new products and restocks, about a week before everyone else
• First dibs when stock runs low. When a product is almost gone, it stays available to you
• The recipe vault, with every recipe card from Miranda's Kitchen
• 10% off everything in the shop
• 20% off Backyard Buffet Tours
• 25% off The Northern California Foraging Encyclopedia

How to join

Membership is by application or invitation. Every applicant is reviewed, promising applicants are interviewed in person, and some are invited to an internship first. Membership is open to adults 18 and over; any level of foraging experience is welcome.

Members: log in to the Members' Lodge. Our Articles of Association and Charter and Bylaws are public.
