About Us
Tellus Mater is Latin for ‘Mother Earth’ and a play on ‘tell us mother’ as we can all learn so much about the world around us (and ourselves) when we take time to enjoy nature.
What we offer
Based in the beautiful Northamptonshire countryside, Tellus Mater delivers well-being, foraging, nature walks and workshops that are carefully designed to educate participants on the wild flora, fauna and fungi that is native to the UK.
We believe that nature should be accessible and we have created various products that are available to both private clients/groups and individuals. Our own foraging walks our based in Northamptonshire and surrounding counties including Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Leicestershire, Rutland, Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, Warwickshire and Bedfordshire.
We also work in partnership with venues, restaurants and chefs, public houses, estates and charities/community groups across the whole of the UK to offer bespoke packages and events that make the most of the local countryside.
Meet Lizzy
Lizzy Mary-Jane Farmer
Founder
(Mum, Forager, Guide and Foraging Foodie)
I have amazing memories as a child of just getting out into the countryside with my late dad David. He was a source of unending encouragement and had a huge influence on my life. I lost my dad when I was just eighteen in an RTA and this impacted my life massively.
I tried to keep true to his teachings and, as I had children of my own, we would enjoy walks in nature, admiring all the flora and fauna whilst occasionally picking up goodies that we could cook later that day.
The business started as I wished my youngest son (who is now just six years old), to engage more in nature as I had done with my other older children as they grew up and as I enjoyed as kid. Friends and family joined our walks and I was soon getting asked to extend this to others so they could feel the awesome benefits of connecting with mother nature and learning wild foods. Tellus Mater was born and I am loving the adventure!
Proudly working with
