Wild food forager Anne Misselbrook from Cornwall has credited her business’ success to next day deliveries from APC Overnight.

Anne is one of a forager, one of the handful in Britain making a living from wild food, which has become the latest fad for middle-class food enthusiasts.

Each year, thousands of kilos of leaves and berries make their way from Cornwall through the APC Overnight network to customers that include London’s top hotels and restaurants.

APC Overnight is the UK’s largest next day delivery network and was chosen by Anne to provide the network input for a wide range of wild foods, including three-cornered leek (a form of wild garlic), nettles, sea beet and sea radish, black lovage, sorrel, black mustard, wall pennywort and various berries.

Misselbrook said: “Demand for wild foods is growing, particularly with high-profile chefs promoting the benefits of naturally grown and UK-sourced produce. The mild climate of Cornwall suits many species and with APC Overnight’s help, I can be sure that my customers get their orders in first-class condition and in time for their needs.”
