Phil Lewis is a hedgelayer, market gardener, beekeeper, scyther and much more, who straddles the border of England and North Wales. As darkness fell in the woods, we sat around a campfire with mugs of tea and good spirits as we discussed the importance of hedges and hedgelaying for the health of trees and support of local ecosystems and wild food networks.
Phil is also a beekeeper, or rather – he works in contract with bees. We talk about the pros and cons of Himalayan Balsam for pollinators and drift into the world of meadow management and why taking a hay cut is important for biodiverse grassland.

We are interested in every aspect of authentic, sustainable and ethically sourced wild food and this podcast covers it all; whether from the sea, river, land or sky.
The Wild Food People podcast is one of the ways in which we are sharing more knowledge about the intricacies of getting started or being involved in foraging, hunting and fishing from practical aspects. We’ll also be talking about relevant news articles and interesting stories related to sourcing wild food, including legal, seasonal, and unexpected natural or unnatural events.
There is no strict episode format for this show, we will discuss news articles on some episodes; and talking with guests about their field of expertise and how they see things working out for wild food into the future. We may also throw in some in-the-field recordings for good measure.
