Welcome to Harmony Hikes!

My name is Sergei Boutenko. Hiking and foraging from wild edibles are my passions in life. Due to the bountiful amounts of rain and snow we received in Oregon this winter, I am confident that this will be another great year for hitting the trails!

I have made several exciting changes for the 2008 season. First, I have expanded my hiking calendar to include more foraging day hikes as well as extended trips. This means that you now have more choices for perfecting your wild edible skills. To find out more please visit either the “extended trips” or the “day trips” page.

Next, I have purchased professional video and photo equipment to further develop the wild edible page on my website. As of this year, you will not only be able to look at pictures of wild edibles, but you will also find short, educational videos about foraging. These videos will cover how to properly harvest wild foods, their nutritional content, and how to prepare and eat wild plants. For more information on this please check the “wild edible” page in mid-May.

Finally, because I love the place that I live, I want to give back to the community as well as to the nature around it. For this reason, if you are a local Southern Oregonian (Ashland, Talent, Phoenix, Medford, Green Springs, etc) I invite you to come on a free hike with me. I will commit to doing a least one free hike per month. I also encourage you to bring an empty backpack on this adventure as we can pick up litter while hiking and improve our trail conditions! For more information about these free hikes please visit the “ calendar” page.
