Spring Foraging Walk

Please register directly with the New Pond Farm Education Center at https://newpondfarm.org/events/spring-foraging-walk_2026/
Cost is $10 for members and $15 for non-members

As the warmer temperatures and longer days of spring unfold, many tender, young edible shoots, plants, flowers, and even a few fungi awaken a forager’s senses and delight. Learn how to identify, sustainably harvest, and prepare the wild foods of spring. Join The 3 Foragers as they discuss the edible plants and fungi of spring on a walk around New Pond Farm. The property will be our hands-on classroom to touch, smell, and taste some of the wild bounty we find.

The 3 Foragers are a family from southeastern Connecticut who have spent over 21 years exploring the edible plants and fungi of New England. They focus on identifying, photographing, and cooking with both native and invasive species, promoting a family-friendly and environmentally sustainable approach to foraging. Through their blog, Facebook page, and book, they share original recipes and practical advice to help others incorporate these wild foods into their diets, encouraging a deeper connection with nature and responsible harvesting practices.
