Yesterday I had the pleasure of doing a bit of foraging up in Piermont, New Hampshire with Nova and Les, who have a combined 80+ years experience in wildcrafting and teaching. We were on the look-out for common as well as the lesser-known edible and medicinal plants. Here are a few pics from the walk...

Pineappleweed
Shepherd's Purse and Great Burdock

It was quite an enjoyable experience with such knowledgeable folk. And at the end of the walk, we treated ourselves to some soup with tastes from the wild - venison, Black Birch sap, Ramps, Great Burdock root, Oyster mushrooms, Stinging Nettles, Common Mallow, and carrots....delicious

If I ever get the opportunity, I'd love to take a few classes with them.
