Foraging for food is all the rage. Even restaurants are getting into the act setting up foraging trips or backyard garden exchanges. I come from a long line of foragers. I have vivid memories of picking blueberries along the recently cleared approach to the new runway at Worcester airport. Blueberries are some of the first shrubs to populate this type of disturbed ecosystem and we found a treasure trove. There was enough to eat all you wanted and still enough for pies and preserves.
My family also picked wild mushrooms, dug clams, harvested beach plums and blackberries. I even tried my hand at collecting sap and making maple syrup and made my own bayberry wax candles. It is important to know where your food comes from. Foraging opens your eyes to new food options and flavors. It can help move away from everyday foods to more interesting even sustainable options.
It is also important to understand the limitations of the land. Even the most fantastic wild blueberry find will only feed a few. It does not take many harvesters to clean out a clam bed or fish out a stream. Wild mushrooms can be reduced to a few choice specimens in just a few years.
Feeding a growing world can not be accomplished through foraging. It requires cultivation and nurturing. It takes farming.
