Foraging is growing in popularity. There are local walks with experienced foragers, and heaving shelves of new books on foraging, from the gathering to the cooking over a campfire or back at home. As spring kicks offthe new growth in fields, woods, riverbanks and seashores, foragers are launching into the countryside.
One of the most exciting things about spring is the opportunities it brings for foraging wild food. After a dormant winter, spring brings a bounty of edible forageable foods. Whether you live in the countryside or in an urban environment, wild food is all around. If you’re new to foraging, wild leaves are a great place to start.
