The Founder
A food experimenter for many years he was naturally led to foraging locally for food stuffs as a child. Miles' nan was a keen forager and got Miles interested in foraging. As a teenager Miles then went on to join the Royal Marine Commandos where his survival skills where enhanced with Marine training and Miles took survival further. All this knowledge has aided Miles to compliment and add to a vast repertoire of knowledge on edibles.
"I remember as a child my Nan feeding us toast with wild mushrooms which she picked as we played in the park. I remember eating the toast, as my Dad entered the room he went nuts at my nan for letting us eat the wild mushrooms. As a child I remember I felt my Dad was wrong and that the natural food Nan had given us felt right to eat."
Miles Lavers
Miles wants to share his passion of foraging and living off the land. That passion is for food and the environment in equal measure for the purpose of understanding wild food in Cornwall and across the country. Miles still feels to this day that foraged food is better than pre-packed that you purchase in the supermarket. A fresher, tastier and healthier food for your palate.
"Suffice to say I still walk into my local Spa 'Stupidmarket' to pick up my daily."
