Doug lives in the Chicago suburbs and wanted to call in to chat with your resident foragers Michael and Steve about raising Icelandic sheep, foraging, and finding new passions!! We love chatting with our listeners! Douglas doesn't have a social media @ but still streams our show (thanks Douglas!!!) and sent us a bunch of photos of his different projects which will be featured in this post!

Enjoy the new episode, we're slowly but surely working behind the scenes to bring you a better and more accessible show this year so thank you all for listening!!

WOWEE-WOW were we excited to chat with Shane Alden Edwards @the_wild_dryad ! Shane is a multifaceted forager and artist in the Chicago suburbs so he met up with Michael and Steve for little to talk plants!

Check out his art on his website and his myriad of videos on his socials, Shane is super cool!

In episode 60 (!!) Chef Lorenzo Tavani @lorenzo__cooks schools Michael and Steve on his history in the culinary field and his inspirations to start foraging. Lorenzo has all sorts of dinner events in Colombus throughout the year so follow his IG and check his website for scheduling updates!! You're definitely going to want to gobble up his food AND his videos!!! Cheers to your PASSION, chef!!

The fellas had an awesome call with musician and forager Sean Rowe about his history with foraging! Sean has a deep history with music and foraging and the two come together with his new YouTube series "Can I Eat This, Sean" where he hosts a fellow musician through a new foraging experience and then have a jam session. He's certainly one of the coolest foragers out there with a wealth of experiences to draw from. Listen to the new episode and get groovy!

The boys have a long chat with Wade Fox, @foxamongbears , to chat about all things Koji, fermentation, the maillard process, and of course foraging!!

Wade is an absolute creative force of nature and weilds his skills like a master in the kitchen, yet humbly and hungrily learns from his peers.

We can't wait to taste more of his wizardry - listen to the episode and get inspired to make your own alchemy!!!

In this episode, Steve and Michael sit down with a couple pieces of mail they've received over the last couple of weeks and talk about the talented folks we share this community with!!

In the second half they discuss the new merch and taste the new hot sauce on air!

Keep on scrumpin', folks.

Love y'all ❤️

Jesse is coming to us from Alabama to take us to Acorn School! In this episode we took a deep dive into Jesse's history with acorns; the whole A-Z on processing and eating. We loved having him on and his online presence is excellent- check him out on all the socials and videosites @feralforaging

Much love, Jesse, can't wait to have you back!!!

Pretty much exactly one month ago, Michael spent some time in Minnesota and while he was there he sat down with Tim Clemens, @mnforager , for a lovely little chat regarding Tim's origin story in the first half and then after the break they munch on some "Buzz button" or "electric daisies"!

Tune in for our electrifying conversation!

Bonus Labor Day episode! This is a long overdue release with Jon Miller regarding our collaboration together! Michael went on a brisk morning walk with Jon to chat about the spruce tip collecting we did as an event for their brewery membership program. For a little while longer, you too can enjoy the fruits of our labor with the Morton Arboretum, also in Lisle IL. Find "In Search of Spruciness" American Pale Ale at Bubblehouse while you still can!

In this episode we have a phone call with forager, chef, and author Alan Bergo of @foragerchef and Forager Chef's Book of Flora regarding the new Minnesota mushroom collection law proposal.
