Forage Club
Meet fellow wild food enthusiasts as we tend to our ecosystems through guerilla food forestry & foraging during monthly meetups. Meetings take place near Asheville, NC and specific dates & activities will be announced soon.
If you’re interested in joining, email healingecosystems@gmail.com and you will be added to the thread.
Intrinsic to foraging is the practice of wild tending. This is the root of our human experience and is the purpose that many are lacking. Taking care of nature’s garden returns us to our fundamental humanness.
I've served wild foods to thousands of people and there is a common question that comes up when people eat a food they really enjoy. They ask, "how do I grow this?". This speaks to the obligation we feel to return surplus to the living world.
If you are a church, school, non-profit, land trust or other community organization interested in learning more about how Forage Club can support your land and mission, please email healingecosystems@gmail.com
Thanks!
