Fed up with predictable relationships; fed up with the predictability of everyday life, Abbey Harris in a moment of spontaneity (or according to her mother, madness!) turns her back on the leafy suburbs of Cheshire and hops on a Boeing 747 heading for Gaborone, Botswana.
We are very proud to have recently launched our 2025 Foraging Calendar! Each page of your calendar features a hand-painted print of a wild ingredient that you can forage each month, along with ID guidance, cooking tips and other useful information. Created entirely by real people, not AI, your purchase of this calendar goes towards supporting independent companies, real artists and human foragers. Once you’ve discovered the joy of foraging the main species each month, we’ve shortlisted another six delicious, wild edibles for you to discover. Some of these will be more elusive than others or require you to explore new habitats – all of them will take you on your own wild food adventure.
Foraging is great for nature, the kitchen and the soul. Not only does it provide bold flavours that can enhance any meal, but it reconnects people with food that would have once been enjoyed by our ancestors. It provides you with a moment outside that may have otherwise been spent behind a screen. Here at Forage Box, we love teaching people about the joys of safe, legal, sustainable and ethical foraging on our wild food workshops, and we hope that this calendar will inspire even the most cautious of novice foragers to eat something wild each month.
Designed, produced and printed in the UK.
WHAT IF YOU COULD:
It has never been harder to focus than it is now. We live in a noisy, crowded, stressful world that changes so fast, we’re always running to catch up. Traditional education doesn’t give us the skills to manage. And if you live largely in your own head, techniques like mindfulness fall short. In extremes, we turn to external solutions like social media, alcohol, and recreational drugs, just to get some space from our own thoughts.
