The Hedgerow Kitchen

Welcome to The Hedgerow Kitchen!

My name is Stuart Gordon: I am an amateur, self taught, home butcher and forager with a passion for consuming sustainable, local, and organic produce.

I'm a big believer in the power of provenance in terms of where we get our produce. Nowadays too many of us are detached from what or where their food and drink comes from. I want to change that, one person at a time.

90% of the meat I eat is wild and organic. I strongly believe that if we are to eat meat we have a responsibility towards it to use ALL of it and understand how to prepare it from scratch: this is why I have taught myself how to butcher.

Similarly, I believe that learning how to forage wild and natural plants to be an invaluable skill that has largely been lost, this is why I am learning how to forage and use it in my everyday life.

I hope you enjoy following along with me and discovering how you too can be more sustainable about how you eat.
