Fall is a bountiful time of year for foragers, with a wide diversity of mushrooms, nuts, and late-season fruits ready for harvest. It’s also a secret season for greens; while spring is generally considered the prime time of year for leafy greens, in many cases plants produce fresh leaves in fall that are equally tasty.

Many people concentrate their foraging efforts into the month of May, when popular wild edibles like ramps, fiddlehead ferns, and morel mushrooms are available for harvest. But there are equally tasty wild foods available later in the season – and the good news is that you don’t have to combat the crowds to get a sizable share! Read on to learn about three delectable late summer foragables. And if you want more details, join Four Season Foraging on an upcoming foray!
Did you know that delicious and healthy foods grow all around us, free for the picking by those who recognize them? Welcome to the exciting world of wild edibles! The practice of foraging food sustained humanity for most of our existence; and though for most of us currently it’s not necessary for survival, it still provides many benefits. Nutrient-dense foods, unique flavors and aromatics, free produce at a time of rising prices, connection to community, cultural significance, and a mutually-beneficial relationship with the surrounding landscape are but a few of the reasons to start foraging. Interested? Join Four Season Foraging for a guided walk in south Minneapolis or rural areas! In the meantime, learn more about your friendly neighborhood plants and mushrooms below.
