It’s the 4th of July weekend so we’ll do things a little different for this one. We’ll have fireworks, a bonfire, s’mores, and locally sourced hamburgers and hotdogs as well. Feel free to stay all the way through Monday. Enjoy a 4th of July like no other far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Forage and Feast will happen the first weekend of every month throughout the growing season at The Land of Odd in Beaverville IL. An immersive out of the frying pan and into the fire experience where we will explore the rural wilderness of the Kankakee Sands, foraging for plants and mushrooms while meeting the wildlife of the region along the way. Great fishing is also available. We then return to The Land of Odd with our finds to collectively prepare a communal meal of our spoils, cooked over an open fire.
Outside of salt and oil every ingredient we use will be something we personally foraged or was grown, produced, farmed, or hunted in the local area.
You can come down just for the day, or camp out and spend the weekend (you can arrive Friday night if you’d like). Tents are available by request if you don’t have your own. There is a full bathroom with shower available for campers. The Land of Odd can also accommodate recreational vehicles.
Only $150 per person for both days, $100 for only one day.
Family and group rates available,

Forage & Feast survival camp at The Land of Odd in Iroquois County IL.
An out of the frying pan and into the fire experience. Everything we eat for the entire weekend will have either been foraged, grown, hunted, or caught in the local area. We will work together as a team to harvest, prepare, and cook a meal made of plants and mushrooms we foraged paired with locally sourced proteins from farmers and hunters. Get away from the hustle and bustle of the sticky crowded city and enjoy the fresh country air, wide open spaces, and actually see the stars at night!
In addition to foraging and campfire camaraderie other activities may include fishing, nighttime headlamp frog walk, haunted site exploration, a bonfire, finding and identifying local fauna (reptiles, insects, and more), viewing the local bison herd, exploring ruins, maybe a trip to a nearby waterfall, and more. A weekend of experiences to last a lifetime. And of course there will be fireworks.
Pick your own campsite, full bathrooms and showers on site. Come down for the entire weekend or just for a day. Tents and air mattresses available if you don't have your own. Arrive Friday night or Saturday morning, you can leave whenever you'd like and even stay through Monday morning.
$150 per person, $250 per couple. $100 for just a day trip. Group rates. Limited spots available!
