We will be presenting for the Chester Public Library at the Chester Meeting House, a lovely space! Join us for this FREE talk and slideshow.
Hunting for wild edible plants doesn’t have to mean hiking in exotic locations far from home; many delicious and nutritious wild foods grow in your own backyard. Disguised as attractive landscaped trees, planted for beautiful blooms, or removed as common nuisance weeds, your edible landscape holds many surprising food sources. Join The 3 Foragers as they teach the fruits, nuts, flowers, and greens found right outside your back door.
The 3 Foragers are a family of three from southeastern Connecticut who have been identifying, photographing, and cooking with the edible plants and fungi of New England for more than 15 years. Karen has written a book about their wild food journey, Adventures in Edible Plant Foraging: Finding, Identifying, Harvesting, and Preparing Native and Invasive Wild Plants, published in 2015, and contributed to a published survival guide by writing the chapters on edible plants and fungi. Since publication of their foraging book, they have given more than 300 classes at libraries, garden clubs, nature centers, and for land trusts throughout southern New England about seasonal wild edible plants, edible invasive plants, mushroom identification, and edible wild fungi for interested students. As The 3 Foragers, they are enthusiastic mycophagy and edible wild plant chefs, creating and sharing many original recipes through their publications and at regional forays. Karen continues to blog at
https://the3foragers.blogspot.com/ and updates their social media and class schedules. Robert is an award-winning published photographer, contributing photos to their own book as well as to international science periodicals, the NAMA newsletter and annual photo contest, and four mushroom identification guidebooks. Karen, Robert, and their daughter Gillian travel in order to hunt and photograph fungi and wild edible plants in locations from New England to Hawaii, expanding their knowledge and experiences.
