The Problem
Ramps are unique in that they only grow in the Springtime in North America. That means if you're getting ramps any other time of year, they're not fresh and have been stored through seasons. Ramps have also become increasingly popular throughout the US in recent years, causing them to be over harvested and foraged incorrectly. If a patch is over-harvested or not harvested correctly, it can take 20 years to recover! Due to this, wild ramps are becoming harder and harder to find each year.
Our Food Fix
Our ramps grow locally in the wild, making them the freshest ramps around. Our farmers also use proper harvesting techniques, leaving 50-65% of the crop un-foraged to ensure it comes back the following year. With these practices in place, we can continue to bring you wild foraged ramps for years to come.
