The act of hunting and gathering food, ingredients and medicine seems so ancient, yet we still have to hunt and gather every day…or at least once a week when we do our weekly shopping. For most people, finding aromatics like 🌿herbs and garlic, 🍄gathering mushrooms for a cacciatori, or 🍵selecting a tea for a scratchy throat…. is a drive to the local supermarket. But for foragers, these ingredients are freely available in nature.

But could HOW we go about getting these necessities— from the supermarket or nature, make a difference?

If the gap between the supermarket and foraging seems vast and and foreign, todays guest Horace Sheffield—👨‍🍳forager and chef, will help you explore the world of foraging which is deelpy rooted in the human experience.
