Founder — A New Field | 2018 —

A New Field kits are the world’s first craft kits for foraged ingredients. They contain loads of exciting equipment for adventuring, documenting, foraging and mixing as well as a step-by-step guide to making awesome, natural products. But every kit is missing one key ingredient – and you need to follow the guide to go forage for it!
