We visited Steve at Cheshire Wild Venison to talk about venison as a meat, deer management in the UK, and how he started in this business in the first place.
After showing us around his premises we sat down with Steve in his office and with the occasional accompanying hum of his chiller unit and chewed the fat about current practices surrounding wild meat and getting it into the food chain as well as some of the benefits of eating wild meat, both for human health and to the benefit of local habitats and ecosystems.

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.






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.
