Foraging
/Since moving to Cornwall we have been getting more and more into foraging for food. We’re still learning and in no way experts but we think you can’t beat a foraging walk followed by a delicious meal made from your foraged goodies! Its a wonderful way to be connected to the natural environment around you and the seasons, plus it has to be the best zero waste food out there; no packaging, grown naturally and you take only what you need (making sure you leave enough behind for nature!). We thought we’d share our favourite resources and guides that have helped us on our foraging journey as well as some of the recipes we’ve been giving a go. If you’re a seasoned forager and think we’ve missed a key source please do get in touch and let us know - we’re always up for learning more!
