It’s that mad scramble between Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah and the New Year. We have made it through Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday & Giving Tuesday. But have you heard of Walden Wednesday? Or, Thoreau Thursday? No…? Ok, I may have totally made them up.
It’s officially fall my friends – harvest time for farmers, squirrels and foragers alike. From fruits and nuts to fungi and herbs, a wide variety of delicious wild edibles are prime for picking right now.
Spring seems to have come early this year and I couldn’t be happier! This month, I am offering two public foraging walks, both focused on edible and medicinal plants and trees that are available right now.
Sorrel is one of my absolute favorite wild foods to forage. Similar to arugula, sorrel packs a powerful zesty lemon punch to salad mixes or atop sandwiches. It is relatively easy to find and grows abundantly in and around gardens, lawns and fields.
