GALLOWAY LARDER
Mark at Galloway Wild Foods has signed the Charter because the Biosphere principles fit perfectly with his own. Through Galloway Wild Foods he teaches about mindful foraging for food and medicine using common plants such as the elder, (flowering in July they can be used to flavour drinks and much more - berries come later).
Galloway Wild Foods is a micro business, providing a modest income for Mark through selling places on guided walks, private tuition, writing and consulting. Providing Scotland's only professionally led foraging walks has resulted in bringing visitors to the Biosphere from far and wide, often for the first time, and showing the area's natural assets off in the best possible light.
Sheena at Galloway Chillies is another Biosphere supporter who is adding a new twist to local food through her passion for chillies and making preserves. Growing over 80 chilli varieties she makes her quality preserves in small batches in her kitchen and sells in local shops, markets and further afield.
