Forage & Feast

As we strive to eat more healthily and live sustainably within cities, there is a need to look beyond ordinary grocery stores and return to growing and gathering wild food. Roushanna’s smallholding is an edible landscape and an excellent foraging opportunity.(Always ask permission from landowners before foraging on private land and see below for South Africa’s strict laws on picking plants and why you should grow your own).“Only pick what you need … you never know who’s visited before you and who will come afterwards, so pick a little sprig before moving onto the next plant,” advises Roushanna Gray, founder of Veld and Sea in Cape Point, before we embark on our foraging excursion.
