About Urban Forage

Urban Forage was founded in 2021 by Christian/Chrisdave, a former chef who left the kitchen in 2020 to explore the world of edible and medicinal plants, herbs, fruit, and fungi. Since its launch, the business has built a portfolio of clients and offers regular workshops on woodland and coastal foraging, alongside seasonal fungi and wild plant sessions. Urban Forage continues to expand, sharing tutorials and identification guides on social media. Their foraged products can also be found in local restaurants and bars, including Amarillo and Gung Ho.
