There is a new trend in vacationing that has guests foraging for their own food. Often, the guests then even participate in the cooking process and enjoy the fruits of their labor.

There are several, varied locations throughout the globe for this experience. For example, for $1600/day, you can pick items like fiddlehead ferns and mushrooms, then be involved in the cooking at the Point, a Relais & Châteaux resort in Saranac Lake, NY; or you can fish and hunt for your own food, and have it cooked up at the Lodge at Glendorn in Bradford, PA.

Or, you can go to Belize, cut down a palm tree and prepare a salad from the palm's heart at Belcampo Belize in Punta Gorda.

I am sure that those raised on a farm would not see this as a vacation. But, for urban dwellers, eating food that we have personally foraged for and prepared (under the supervision of a fine chef) would be an amazing experience.
