WELCOME TO THE FAMILY FORAGING KITCHEN
We are a social enterprise providing foraging walks and heritage craft courses across Cornwall. Through education and social initiatives, we aim to preserve traditional skills, reduce food insecurity, and build sustainable communities that are connected to nature and their history.
“A brilliant UK break for solo travellers, couples or small groups: Take a wild food walk, in Cornwall with the Family Foraging Kitchen.”
Lorna Parkes,
The Guardian
The Family Foraging Kitchen is dedicated to tackling food insecurity by providing quality and affordable wild food education.
As a Community Interest Company (CIC), a percentage of the profit made from our ticketed foraging walks allows us to provide the same educational opportunities to those experiencing financial hardship for free.
We believe that all people should have access to foraging knowledge and wild food education, giving them the confidence to access nutritious, sustainable, local, fresh food.
From beekeeping to seaweed Foraging…
Alongside our regular foraging walks, such as our hedgerow and fungi identification forays, we continue to collaborate with local artisans and teachers who seek to share their traditional crafts, allowing us to add a variety of fascinating heritage skill opportunities to our schedule.
Our team also attend a number of events around the country, including festivals and conferences, allowing us to bring our enthusiasm further afield too.
