Foraging 101

Discover the wild and wonderful world of edible plants—right in your own backyard.

Join us at Harvey Family Farm for a gentle, hands-on introduction to foraging for wild edibles. This workshop is perfect for beginners, nature lovers, and curious eaters who want to reconnect with the land in a meaningful (and delicious!) way.

Together, we’ll walk the field and fencerows, learning to identify common “weeds” that are actually edible and nutrient-rich—many of which you probably step over every day. You’ll taste, smell, and explore a variety of safe-to-sample plants, and we’ll wrap up by creating a simple, fresh salad from the wild greens we find.

🌱 You’ll Learn:

• How to safely identify 6–8 edible wild plants

• Basic foraging do’s and don’ts (ethics & safety)

• How to prepare and enjoy wild greens at home

🧺 What’s Included:

• Guided foraging walk on the farm

• Hands-on tasting of wild edibles

• A forager’s salad that we prepare together

No experience necessary. Just bring your curiosity, comfy shoes, long pants and an appetite for adventure.
