A foraging podcast adventure where we dive into all of the amazing untamed flavors you can find trailside, curbside, and low tide; where the best food is FREE. In this aural exploration, we will discuss wild plants with the people that eat them around the world. The goal is to learn, and share, but also lessen the stigma surrounding the wild edible plants and mushrooms that surround us.
