Wild About Food

 Wild About is a small family run food producer founded by Fiona and Malc Falconer. 

We believe passionately in creating the best possible produce for the best quality products, our customers and the environment.  We grow produce using organic permaculture techniques on our biodiversity farm.  We don’t use any chemicals or sprays instead we invest heavily in the ground source, creating nutrient rich compost from seaweed, donkey manure, kitchen and garden waste.  

We also believe strongly in local economy, so we don’t import.  What we don’t grow ourselves we source locally. We work with the Irish seasonal harvests so our range changes throughout the year and we specialise in native wild ingredients, Nettle, Sloe, Rosehip, Wild Garlic, Elderberry, Irelands own superfoods.  We are really proud to have brought products such as Nettle syrup, sparkling Nettle Drink, So Sloe Jelly, Rocking Rosehip and the ever popular Raw Wild Garlic pesto to the Food Academy with Supervalu.  

Our whole process is done by hand, in small batches, with attention to detail.  Harvests go directly from the beds into the kitchen, where Malc will peel, chop and core before cooking in 25litre open top pots where Malc can see, smell and adjust as required. Decanting by hand into jars or bottles, he then batches, labels and puts into boxes ready to stock.  

Our multi award winning range of seasonal chutneys, relish, preserves, oils, dressings, pestos and cocktail / cocktail syrups have amassed 23 Great Taste Awards, 13 Blas na hEireann award including All Ireland Supreme Champion.  All our products are ethically and sustainably produced.  We use sugar and vinegar as our preservatives, we only preserve for a year so many of our products are low in sugar, several such as Celtic Roots, Spice of Life, Hot Spice Relish contain less that 15g sugar per 100g, suitable for diabetics.  

‘Wild about’ reflects our integrity, providence and commitment to the environment through great tasting, locally produced food.
