About Our Partner

The Ardent Forager travels the country, on a back roads, search-and-rescue mission, to reclaim American heritage. We find the provisions, the gear, and the supplies from simpler times and bring them to market. We focus on the pieces used every day: cast iron, work boots, fire and wood tools, guide books, heavy canvas bags, and galvanized buckets. The Ardent Forager sources usable pieces of history that conjure images of nostalgia, adventure, and escape. Goods include sporting pieces of the great outdoors — hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, baseball, croquet, birdwatching, riding. We want to reach the wanderlust in you. We want to hear how you’ve added your history to a well-worn leather glove or a chippy enamelware camp cup. The Ardent Forager is about un-earthing something special that you can take home and love. It’s about finding your new (old) favorite thing.
