How Do You Forage For Food In The Fall?
Foraging for food in the fall is a great way to get out in nature and find some grocery items for free. You need to do adequate research and know what to look for and where to forage in your area. Thinking creatively and having a bit of a sleuth mindset are also helpful. Find out what foods are available in the wild in your area. Visit the library near you, do online research or contact local sources involved with nature–a nursery or gardening club. It’s best to go out knowing what you’re looking for. Photocopy pictures or get a book with pictures to take out with you. You can avoid poisonous items by properly identifying the food you find while foraging. Research what natural environments and habitats exist close to you that you can legally forage in. State and national parks don’t allow visitors to remove anything from the grounds. Keep this in mind when planning your expedition. Look for properties that are abandoned or for sale. Ask for permission to forage for food on the premise
