I regularly make homemade Jams, Chutneys, Oils and vinegars. As well as seasonally making cordials, selling foraged greens and local honey.

I live in Dinas Powys with my husband and 8 year old son.

My best selling Jam is probably Rhubarb and Vanilla although Lemon Chutney is possibly my most underrated it goes brilliantly with a curry.

Many people probably don’t realise I also work for the NHS as a Radiographer so when I have time I enjoy gardening and walking with the family as well as baking with my son.

I can’t wait to go out to eat after lockdown but it has meant that I have managed to grow my business and increased my foraging knowledge tenfold.
