Terms of Service

Last updated: November 7, 2026

These terms apply to your use of the Redding Forager's Association website, newsletter, text messages and shop. By using them, you agree to these terms.

Foraging safety

Our guides, posts, videos and products are for education and enjoyment. They are not a substitute for in-person identification by an expert, and they are not medical advice. Never eat any wild plant or mushroom unless you are 100% sure of its identity. Some wild foods cause allergic reactions or interact with medications. Check with your doctor before using herbal products, especially if you are pregnant, nursing or taking medication. You forage at your own risk.

Respect the land

Follow local laws and land rules, get permission on private land, and harvest sustainably.

Orders and payment

Prices are in US dollars. We may change prices or limit quantities at any time. Your order is confirmed when you receive a confirmation email.

Shipping

We ship within the United States only. Shipping is calculated at checkout and is free on orders over $75. Delivery times are estimates.

Digital products

Ebooks and other digital downloads are delivered by email after purchase. Because they are delivered instantly, digital products are not refundable once downloaded, unless the file is faulty. They are for your personal use; please do not share or resell them.

Returns

Wild foods and herbal products are perishable and cannot be returned once shipped. If your order arrives damaged or wrong, contact us within 7 days with a photo and we will make it right.

Text messages (SMS)

Redding Forager's Association offers an optional text message program. When you check the SMS consent box on one of our website sign-up forms and give us your mobile number, you may receive non-marketing texts about your sign-up, orders and account, and, if you separately agree, marketing texts with seasonal foraging updates, new posts and recipe cards, foraging walk and class announcements, product availability and occasional offers or discount codes.

Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to cancel at any time; reply HELP for help, or contact us at (530) 999-4804 or [email protected]. Consent to receive texts is not a condition of any purchase. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle your information.

You must be at least 18 years old to sign up for our text messages, and by signing up you confirm that you are 18 or older and the account holder or authorized user of the mobile number you provide.

All text, photos, videos and designs on this site belong to Redding Forager's Association unless noted. Please don't copy them without permission. Sharing a link is always welcome.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, Redding Forager's Association is not liable for any injury, illness, loss or damage arising from the use of our content, products or advice.

Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top shows when they last changed.
