urban forage
In 2020 Christian/Chrisdave gave up being a chef and in Lockdown set out on a
journey to discover as many edible, interesting and medicinal plants, herbs,
fruit and fungi. Within in Months he had created a small community of clients
and followers and decided to start a career in sustainable foraging. With the
help of the Enterprise Allowance Scheme for start up business, Urban Forage was
formed with the aim to be Brightons Best Wild Food supplier, Forage guide and
Forage Consultancy. After launching in 2021 we now have a portfolio of
hand-picked clients, regular Wood and Sea workshops and seasonal Fungi and Wild
Plant workshops throughout the year. We made our First Festival appearance and
advised on local environmental issues and projects. In April 2021 we moved into
our Woodland Workshop in The Stanmer Craft Museum, where you can find
demonstrations, forage workshops, hand crafted forage goods, fungi and a Crazy
Foraging Guru who is always happy to stop and chat or give tips and locations.
In 2022 we already have over 50 dates planned over 10 workshops with new dates
added weekly, and plan to launch more Foraged food and continue to grow our
social media platforms, where you can find tutorials, Id guides and charming
forage content.
