Fall is here! School is back in session. The sun is setting an hour earlier. And night time temperatures have dropped by double digits, signifying the beginning of a new foraging season. September is a true bounty of fantastic wild foods.
Before the tree syrup tapping, winter tea mixing and general dormant distresses of full winter are upon us, I invite you to enjoy the last of our fall months outside. For my November forages, I wanted to add additional aspects – tastings and workshops – that I am hoping will both intrigue and encourage you to experiment throughout the winter months.
It’s officially apple picking season! While most in New England may be heading to their local apple orchards for cider donuts (omg my favorite!) and their $40 bag of apples, may I suggest a fun family forage that is totally free? Crab apples!
