Foraging your own food from the wild is an experience that combines relaxation and adventure. You don’t need to go far to find edible plants growing wild in the Hudson Valley. Our region offers many options for foraging including but not limited to wild ramps, stinging nettles, mint, fern fiddleheads, wild carrots, dandelion, milkweed shoots, wild garlic, wild berries, a variety of mushrooms, and so many more!
Scroll down for some photos of foraging adventures in the Hudson Valley. For more on where to forage, what to look for, and how to start, check out Edible Hudson Valley’s past articles on the subject: https://ediblehudsonvalley.ediblecommunities.com/tag/foraging
