A recent family forage with Fjolla and her daughter on the North Shore of MA yielded a number of delicious edibles, including these beautiful hen of the woods (maitake) mushrooms.
Laura wanted to do something special for her boyfriend Shawn's birthday. A private foraging class just outside Boston was the perfect gift! They collected spring edibles for a wild pesto pasta.
Testimonials
We learned so much from our 2 hour walk with Diana. We had no idea how many things grew around our property that we could easily identify, eat and enjoy. We can’t wait to have her back in the fall when new things are growing.
Phyllis L., Sudbury, MA
Since taking a private class with Diana, I see wild edibles everywhere! Now, I feel confident enough to identify and forage them on my own. I’ve been experimenting with recipes and making my own teas! Thank you Diana!!
