Foragers Chillies

Foragers Chillies Growing For Flavour - growers of chillies and culinary herbs with a unique range of jams, relishes an Foragers is a family-run farm. Watch this space!

Situated on the western edge of Stirlingshire in Scotland, just two miles from the conservation village of Drymen, and six miles from Loch Lomond, we are growers of flavoursome chillies and culinary herbs. Our two acre orchard was planted in 2015 and we are now making small batches of blended craft cider, using nine varieties of cider apples from the orchard. In the longer term we hope to be able to sell our cider to the general public. With the farm situated on an old, long-established wildflower and grass meadow, biodiversity is very much at the heart of the enterprise. Our main focus is to provide a rich, foraging haven for the struggling wild bumblebee and other insects and creatures that have lost much of their natural habitats in recent decades. By helping them, they will help us produce better crops.
