The Forager
Wild Food & Nature Lovers
Honest field notes from a working forager: what's ripe, where to find it, and how to bring the season home to your kitchen.
Every week I walk the hedgerows, orchards and coastlines, and write down what the season is doing. Subscribing keeps those letters coming, supports my wild endeavours, and directly helps me build out The Harvest Club, our monthly online gathering for people who want to live closer to the land.
You'll get the deep-dive foraging guides, the medicinal benefits of local plants, seasonal kitchen preserves, and the honest stories from my rambles that don't always make it onto the map.
