We are unique in the world of wild food.
Not only do we operate to a strict code of ethics in everything we do – our team of foragers and instructors are actively involved in the conservation and the ecological management of the environments we source our wild food from.
Unlike other foraging and wild food course providers – we don’t just visit these environments, we work to make them healthier and improve biodiversity wherever we can.

Wild Food People
Authentic. Ethical. Sustainable.
Wild Food People was founded to share our deep-rooted passion for ethical, sustainable, and authentic wild food with as many people as we can reach.
We do this through hands-on foraging and wild food courses, engaging articles, and weekly podcast episodes—all led by experienced outdoor professionals with a lifetime of knowledge to share.
This isn’t a hobby for us; it’s a full-time commitment. We believe everyone should have the chance to access wild food in a responsible and sustainable way. Our mission is to teach and inspire others to engage with nature while protecting its delicate balance.
Based in North Wales, between the rolling hills of the Clwydian Range AONB and the rugged landscape of Parc Eryri (Snowdonia), we’re ideally placed to work across the UK. Our approach blends ecology, ethical land management, and a genuine love of wild food.
We collaborate with landowners to ensure that our courses and events not only respect but also enhance the environments where they take place.
Ethical foraging, hunting, and fishing are inseparable from conservation and sustainable land management, and we’re committed to maintaining healthy ecosystems as part of everything we do.
We work with nature.
We deliver expert foraging and wild food training as part of our wider work managing habitats in North Wales.
Every single one of our courses and events feeds back into improving those habitats, helping to provide healthy ecosystems for our local wildlife and communities.
