Fresh Wild Ramps

Seasonal Spring Harvest · Currently Out of Season

Fresh wild ramps are now finished for the 2026 spring season. However, we have been pickling the bulbs, and they are now available.

Pickled Ramps — Now Available

When fresh ramps are out of season, we preserve them to capture that fleeting spring flavor. Our pickled ramps retain the savory, garlicky intensity of spring ramps and pair well with cheese boards, grilled meats, sandwiches, martinis, roasted vegetables, and pantry-driven cooking year-round.

You can find our preserved ramps in the pantry section while supplies last.

Ethical Ramp Harvesting

Ramps are a slow-growing native woodland plant, and responsible harvesting is essential. We never clear entire patches. Instead, we selectively harvest from established colonies—often prioritizing leaf-only harvesting or taking a limited number of bulbs from any given area. This allows ramp populations to regenerate naturally year after year.

Our approach reflects a broader farming ethic: harvest with restraint, protect biodiversity, and think long-term.

What Are Ramps?

Ramps—also known as wild leeks—are a prized spring allium with a flavor that bridges garlic, scallions, and onions, with a distinctly green, forest-grown character.

  • Bulbs are bold, savory, and aromatic
  • Leaves are tender, fresh, and herbaceous

What Do Ramps Taste Like?

Ramps deliver deep garlicky flavor, bright spring sharpness, and a lingering savory finish. When cooked, ramps mellow and sweeten. Raw, they bring unmistakable allium heat.

How to Use Ramps

Fresh ramps are used across professional and home kitchens:

  • Sautéed with eggs, potatoes, or pasta
  • Blended into ramp butter, pesto, or salsa verde
  • Charred whole and served simply
  • Pickled to preserve the season
  • Added to stocks, broths, and ferments

Because their season is so short, many cooks preserve ramps to enjoy year-round.

Seasonal Availability

Fresh ramps are available for only a few weeks each spring. Quantities are limited and vary year to year based on conditions in the woods. When fresh ramps sell out, preserved ramp products are the best way to continue enjoying them.
