Hortahunting trips also in English
If you want to learn how to forage wild herbs but do not understand Finnish, we are happy to serve you also in English. We, Raija and Jouko Kivimetsä, are the pioneers of wild herb education in Finland. We have written several books on wild herbs and hortahunting, Our book Horta hunter’s handbook, is a classic.
