We're on a mission to build communities & rebuild lost biodiversity. Discover wild food & unleash your inner forager! We are a social enterprise that provides communities with wild food education, through foraging walks, cookery classes, and free food initiatives. Alongside this work, we also seek to preserve and share the knowledge of heritage crafts. A percentage of profit made from our ticketed
walks and courses allows us to provide the same service, for free, to those experiencing local food poverty in our community. We believe that all people should have access to wild food education and the confidence to access nutritious, sustainable, local, fresh food. For every walk or course you purchase from The Family Foraging Kitchen – you help to provide a local Cornish family the skills to find free food forever. There is a good deal of fear and misinformation surrounding the use and consumption of wild plants, and we believe the best way to combat this is to share knowledge about how these plants can be used. Modern agricultural methods have meant that foraging, once a part of our ancestral daily life, has faded away, replaced by regular family trips to the supermarket. We are now disconnected from the food that we eat. Given the ecological, social and environmental crisis that we now face globally, humanity needs to - rather urgently and radically - examine its relationship with food and how we acquire it. Foraging is about more than just food and nourishment; it gets us out into the countryside, helps to cultivate an intimate appreciation of nature, lets us explore history, science and folklore; can bond families, strengthen communities and reestablish connections severed by modern life. Inspire younger generations to learn traditional skills and knowledge. Get truly wild in your kitchen. Take an edible journey and explore the beautiful Rame Peninsula.
