Ingredients include dandelions, elderflower, hogweed seeds, crab apples, blackberries, sweet cicely, ground elder, damsons, sloes, and heritage varieties of plums, apples, and pears. Fruits of the Forage partners with schools, farms, and community groups to plant fruit trees using traditional agroforestry methods in small-scale orchards and hedgerows. They educate people about local foods, create wildlife habitat, increase biodiversity, and preserve local heritage.
