Food in the Forest |
|
Forget the grocery store, head to the back 40. Shot an update last week on famed Wisconsin forager, Sam Thayer. Thayer is one of the country's biggest names in finding, identifying, and cooking with "wild edibles". He's written two books on foraging, "Nature's Garden" and "The Forager's Harvest".
The goal on this shoot was to walk a trail with Thayer, the Standish Price Wild Food Interpretive Trail in Price County. This trail is truly unique; it's the only interpretive trail in the country (as far as Thayer knows) dedicated to edible wild plants. It was an amazing hike. Over 100 edible wild plants are ID'd. Most amazing to me: Solomon seal, mayapples, and trout lily are featured plants. They are also plants that I've got growing in my own backyard. Dinner!
Check out Thayer's website for more info on his books, wild foods, and the Standish Price Trail.
