This is an extremely curated collection of pics from our walk in Derrycassin woods in Co Longford today.
Nestled amongst the oak and beech trees were Elders with flowers about to burst into bloom, blackberry bushes, honey suckles, stunning fox gloves and a couple of plants we didn’t recognise.
Unfortunately the flip side of that coin was not a pretty sight. Storm Eowyn did a lot of damage to many trees but far worse was the utter devastation caused by Coillte’s destructive extraction processes.
There was a picnic bench sitting in what literally looked like a bomb site.
The saddest part though was the havoc of a giant tangle of trees cut and littering the top of a ring fort. A sacred place desecrated.
Despite all the horror there was so much beauty - the wonderful arch of carefully chiselled hand made bricks at the entrance of the long forgotten walled garden, stone bridges over lazy streams and so much beautiful birdsong.
I suppose it’s a metaphor for life: look for the good and you’ll find it!

In a world that is constantly ‘on demand’, when you can get a Christmas dinner 365 days of the year, when you can buy strawberries in January that look and smell like strawberries but taste of nothing, we have sacrificed seasonal eating for convenience and lost so much in the process. (Pun intended!)
When you can buy whatever food you want at any time of year we loose the excitement of tasting that first sweet cherry tomato to ripen in the summer sunshine or the crispness of an apple plucked from the boughs in autumn.
Some things have a very short season as is the case with wild garlic. It appears in early spring and depending on weather conditions may only be around for about 6 weeks. Every year it feels like awaiting an old friend, excited to welcome it back.
Wild garlic pesto is such a taste of spring and early summer and each year for a limited time we have ‘ the wild one’ toastie on our menu. It’s not around for too long so come and try one while you can!

Yesterday was a good day - a very good day!
We headed for Warrenpoint by the shores of Carlingford lough to have lunch at one of my favourite places to eat - .co A wonderful chilled out plant based cafe with tonnes of gluten free options. You can taste the love and care that goes into all the food. They do their thing and they do it soooo well 😍.

After filling our bellies we headed for Kilbroney forest park in Rostrevor.
We walked from the lower car park through gorgeous woods filled with bluebells and wonderful ferns, past rivers, waterfalls and bridges and ‘the big stone’ that was thrown there by Finn MacCool and on to a stunning viewing point called Kodak corner which gives a panoramic view over Carlingford lough. It was well worth the effort getting up there!

Are you gluten free and sick of being an after thought? Had enough of over processed ‘treats’ wrapped in plastic?
At into the wild we believe everyone deserves to eat healthy nourishing food regardless of dietary requirements which is why we make our food with simple real ingredients. Our food comes from a kitchen not a science lab!
On the counter this weekend we have a zingy strawberry & lime almond slice (gf & df) and choc, orange & ginger energy balls (gf & v)
GF toasties and breakfast pots also available .

Every spring I look forward to a spot of foraging for wild garlic. Woods are abundant with the fragrant leaves and flowers from early spring for about 4 -6 weeks depending on the weather.
Wild garlic is really versatile, from pesto, soup, quiches, omelettes, stir fries, instead of cabbage in colcannon to just chopped steamed and served with butter, it can be eaten all sorts of ways.
I usually pick wild garlic with a friend of mine and we realised that this has become our tradition for the last 10 years! This year was particularly special as we were joined by the next generation of foragers who kept us well entertained with giggles and funny faces at the taste of wild garlic flowers .❤️
In honour of all things wonderful we are celebrating our birthday weekend by bringing back one of our first sambos; ‘the wild one’ - golden toasted sourdough slathered with wild garlic pesto, stuffed with sun dried tomatoes, red onions, mature red cheddar and mozzarella. If you haven’t tried it yet you’re in for a treat!

Just like that, it’s suddenly 5 years since the first time we opened the hatch on our little trailer!! I’ll never forget that first morning, my nerves nearly got the better of me but I’m so glad that I carried on!
Setting up your own business is not for the feint hearted or the work shy but my goodness the effort is worth it.
It’s been amazing over the years to have met so many wonderful folk, become part of the rhythm of peoples week. We’re so grateful for all the support, the chats and laughs have kept us going, especially through the cold weather and tough times.
A huge thank you to each and every one of you that has stopped by, it means more than you know 🙏🙏❤️

Packed with almonds, peanuts, peanut butter and dark choc, these snickers bar squares (v & gf) pack a real punch when it comes to taste and hitting your protein goals.

I’ve been waiting patiently for the last few weeks as our rhubarb patch in the garden slowly unfurls and breaks free from winters clutches. There was just enough to harvest this week so let me excitedly introduce you to our new breakfast / any time of the day pot!
Rhubarb roasted in orange juice with cinnamon and apple, layered with vanilla custard yogurt and topped with a delicious homemade gingerbread, apricot & cranberry granola. Oh yeah, and it’s 100% plant based 🌱
Get your morning off to a great start.

Did you know that officially this is the weekend where most New Year’s resolutions fall by the wayside ?
This is because we put pressure on ourselves to be constantly doing more, achieving more, trying to make lots of new habits stick but what if we took our queues from nature and instead resolved to commit to wintering?
Wintering is slowing down, smelling your coffee in the morning, making a special nourishing breakfast to set you up for the day, taking time to be with friends in an unrushed way, getting some much needed heat in your bones in the sauna, playing with your little ones or lighting the fire and curling up in your favourite chair with a good book.
Take some time out today, be kind to yourself, it is most definitely still winter!

So…….this seems to be the vibe we’re going with this Christmas!
It’s been a less than perfect year so why should Christmas be any different ? 😜
Just want to say a huge thank you to each and every one of you that has stopped by the trailer this year. It’s been a difficult year for a lot of small businesses and every time you buy from a small local business even if it’s just a coffee you are helping to pay bills, to feed families, to fix vans when they break down, to keep homes warm - shopping local really does make a difference - Thank you ❤️

I hope the festive season, however you celebrate it, brings you peace, laughter and happiness.
Wishing you all the happiest of christmases and the merriest and brightest of new years.

Note: we will be open Fri 26th 9am - 4.30pm serving hot mulled apple juice along with all the usual goodies. Look forward to seeing you then.
