Fire & Forage
Where fire, food and story come together • Ages 12+ • 4 hrs • An unforgettable experience!
Fire & Forage is a Brinkin, Northern Territory experience provider focused on hands-on, place-based food and cultural activities delivered in collaboration with Traditional Owners. The business offers immersive trips that connect participants to Country through foraging, fishing, ethical harvesting, open-fire cooking and storytelling.
Fire & Forage presents a signature Long Table Dinner: a multi-course feast of fire-cooked dishes that showcases native ingredients, communal storytelling and a glowing shared table under the open sky. The Catch and Cook offerings include hands-on coastal experiences for Mud Crab or Barramundi where guests harvest seasonal ingredients, learn traditional techniques, and participate in a beach cook-up. A seasonal Catch and Cook for Magpie Goose runs in the wet season and involves an ethically guided harvest on Country, open-fire cooking and cultural sharing with Traditional Owners and a chef.
Each trip description emphasizes direct engagement with local knowledge, seasonal rhythms and native foods. Fire & Forage works with Traditional Owners and a professional chef to deliver the experiences described. Services prioritize cultural connection, practical instruction in foraging and cooking techniques, and eating together as a form of storytelling and community. The offerings are grounded in Country-specific practice and seasonal opportunity in the Northern Territory, with clear focus on ethical harvest and cultural guidance.
