Wild Food Foraging in Northumberland
Based in Northumberland, The Cramlington Forager was created to challenge the idea that you need to live deep in the countryside to enjoy foraging and to encourage people to connect with nature and to treasure and explore their local green spaces. It can often be difficult to find the time, energy or even the courage to get out and explore the hedgerows and foraging can be an empowering way of increasing your knowledge of the natural world whilst being able to enjoy delicious wild food! Come along on a Wild Food foraging adventure and engage with the seasons and all that they have to offer! Discover the incredible abundance of edible wild plants, fruits, mushrooms and flowers, how to identify them, gather, prepare and store them to enjoy all year round.
Wild Food Guides
Foraging sustainably for wild food, come with me as I share more about wild plants and fungi, experimenting with them in the kitchen and exploring their nutritional and medicinal benefits, as well as the rich history and folktales which surround these plants.
Seasonal Recipes
These simple and delicious recipes are inspired by seasonal ingredients, from the wild and elsewhere. I share tips on how to make the most of them as well as how to preserve them, making the seasonal bounty last a little bit longer.
Wild Spaces
Living in an urban town, access to hedgerows, parks and woodlands can be limited. Come along as I explore the wilder side of Cramlington and Northumberland, finding how often it is the smallest nooks hiding in plain sight that offer the greatest experiences.
Foraging Courses
Join me on a wild food foraging walk, as we discover and learn about the abundance of food which is available throughout the year. Courses take place seasonally and across multiple locations, and are also available for private bookings.
Foraging Walks and Courses
Come along to a Wild Food Foraging walk with The Cramlington Forager, and discover the abundance of wild food growing on your doorstep. Learn how to forage for and identify fruits, plants and fungi safely and sustainably, and how to make the most of your wild harvests. From urban settings, to woodlands and everything in between, foraging for wild food is an empowering way of enjoying fresh and seasonal wild foods direct from your local area.
