Urban Foraging

fb-avatarWhat if food lined the streets in your neighborhood or town and as you strolled through you could pick and eat to your heart’s content? That’s what urban foraging is all about, and it’s gaining popularity. Urban foraging is harvesting plants growing in urban spaces. Whether you are picking fruit from a designated park or food forest or hunting for wild mushrooms, it is a great way to connect with nature in an urban environment and obtain fresh food for free. Want to try it out but unsure of where to start? Foragers Caleb Phillips and Ethan Welty have created a world map that shows where you can forage for fruits and veggies around the world, right down to your specific area.
