At our last class over the weekend, we learned how to identify Purslane and it’s toxic lookalike Spurge! New dates for the rest of the year will be released soon!
Foraging has given me such a unique perspective on the world 🌎 ❤️
We learned all about Elderberry at our last foraging class! Don’t eat anything you aren’t sure of!
Never ever ever eat anything you’re unsure of and take it slow the first time trying a new food! You never know how you’ll react! Revisiting these two plants in every season has really helped build my confidence on Identifying them!
We learn all about Fungi and Plant relationships in our Columbus based foraging classes!
Multiple sources is key 🔑
You can never be too sure about an ID on a plant or mushroom. 🌱 🍄
This is the approach I take when discovering new plants or confirming a hunch!
I use @picturethisai for my scanning app. Love to use Sam Thayers field guide as a physical resource and the internet is loaded with some better than other resources to use as well. 👍
I’m learning simple botanical terms and scientific names as well to really help narrow things down!
Dudes, learning is such a vibe. Happy Cooking ❤️
All the spinach I eat in a year is replaced by Lambs Quarter or Goosefoot! It’s a native plant in my area and grows like a “weed” in my back yard! We cover all kinds of plants like this in our foraging classes!
This is a foraged drink that one of my foraging classes got to drink!

Using foraged and home grown ingredients, just feels better! 👍
Wild Bergamot grows in abundance and has so many uses in the kitchen! Food is medicine!
