There is so much free fruit, flowers and herbs growing around it is unbelievable.
Anyone industrious enough can make a lot of money just processing the free stuff at zero cost and selling it at a profit. Sometimes these don't even need to be processed, just picked and packaged. We've picked so much plums, crab apples, mulberries to turn into jams for sale.
I am surprised no one has thought of setting up a brand and coming up with an entire range for what can be picked. If anyone is interested, here is an idea : Brand it "Shrub Grub".
I'll take 10% and credits for the name. Thanks.

Plums. All these from a short stretch of road. And there were still a lot more. |
Mulberry from a tree in a car park. |
