foraged FOOD
Most people think of Spring as the prime food foraging season with flowers in full bloom & greens at their most tender. But don’t dismiss Fall. Mushrooms abound as well as a number of nuts and berries. For all those caffeine addicts, some holly leaves have more caffeine by weight than coffee beans, just don’t eat the berries, please. This next Call comes from a place home to one of North America’s largest collections of holly species & a large Edible Gardens. Take a look…
