Forbes Wild Foods Information

Welcome to Forbes Wild Foods. We offer one of Canada’s largest selections of high quality wild foraged Canadian foods, the most natural foods there are. These unique foods are harvested in remote regions across the country, from Labrador to the islands of British Columbia. We invite you to check out the website, where you will find fruits, vegetables, and mushrooms, as well as vinegars and even some exotic dry goods that span our great country. All our foods are harvested from the Canadian wilderness by trained pickers who practice sustainable harvesting methods – sustainable for that particular plant species, but also sustainable for the pickers, whose livelihood is supported by a thriving source of wild foods, and sustainable for other wildlife. The pickers are usually residents of rural or remote communities who respect the lands that support them. They are Aboriginal people, women, youth, and farmers. Only those wild foods whose survival is not in danger are used. Forbes Wild Foods also works with wild food producers to help propagate rare wild food plants by planting roots and seeds in lands that need remedial attention such as overgrazed woodlots and pastures.
