KEEP THE WILD CLOSE.
Eat it, drink it, live it.
Beginning May 2
SPRING MOREL HUNTS
Morel season is brief — and timing matters.
Our small-group hunts are timed to that window — guided field experiences built around the season and ending with wood-fired morel pizzas in the woods.
Only a handful of hunts are offered each spring.
Wild food, experienced three ways.
Built at Commercial Scale.
Proven in the Field.
Mike Kempenich founded Gentleman Forager more than two decades ago, building the brand through commercial-scale mushroom cultivation, wild harvesting, and restaurant supply across the Upper Midwest.
He later founded Forest to Fork — America’s first wild food grocery store, known for its 20-foot glass mushroom growing tower — before selling the business in 2021. His work has also included university-level mushroom identification instruction at the University of Minnesota and the University of Wisconsin.
Featured in major news and business outlets including MarketWatch and the Star Tribune — and on public television with PBS Wisconsin and MPR News.
