The Hitchin Forager
Foraging for wild food, both in the countryside and the urban setting is a fun and exciting way to enjoy the great outdoors by becoming more intimate with the natural environment and what it has to offer..
About me
Growing up in Southeast London and Kent, my earliest memories of foraging are collecting plants, fruit, berries and nuts throughout the year with my parents.
Having an insatiable passion for food, I pursued this interest as an adult. I’m continually experimenting and adding different wild foods to my diet and what’s more, there is an abundance of wild ingredients on my doorstep, right here in Hitchin!
Why forage?
My aim is to give everyone the skills and confidence to safely identify, pick and use delicious edible plants, flowers, fruit and mushrooms. All you need is plenty of enthusiasm and a keen eye for detail when identifying wild food ingredients.
